New to Overwatch?
Overwatch is a competitive, 6v6 first-person shooter. The game has its own special backstory, fun aesthetic, and unique “Heroes” to do battle with. Each Hero has special skills and abilities that can become even more powerful when working together as a team.
New heroes are added to the Overwatch roster every few months. In addition, there is a steady stream of monthly updates, special events, and cosmetic upgrades from legendary developer Blizzard. The most recent hero to join the fight is Baptiste, a combat medic who wields a powerful Biotic Launcher and can deploy a lifesaving Immortality Field.
