And supposedly, this is what Titan became after they slowed production down to make it a smaller-scale game:

"Overwatch is a reworked version of the PVP portions of Blizzard's Titan, the long-in-development MMO that was overhauled in mid-2013. Despite reports earlier this year thatTitan had been cancelled, the game actually morphed into Overwatch last year, according to a person familiar with the project"

Colour me hyped!

is this a normal game, or some free to play or mmo type stuff.



That turret part (2:30) reminds me a lot of TF2.



that actually looks pretty damned good! my curiosity has been piqued



The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.

I see this is Blizzard taking a direct hit at Valve, after Valve took Dota 2.

And it looks fantastic.



                            

Blizzard meets Pixar meets Team Fortress 2 meets Unreal Tournament sounds awesome! The gameplay looks fantastic!



This looks very interesting! Looking forward to more information..



Playing: F1 2016 (PC), Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (PS4)
Watching: Hajime no Ippo, Attack on Titan (4th time)
Upcoming purchases in October:
-TBD

Looks like TF2 with a lot of really neat characters...I'm interested



I will definitely be keeping my eye on this one. It's good to see Blizzard branching out from their 3 main universes.

Edit: You can already sign-up for the beta (which I did of course!)



Signature goes here!
