Overwatch is a multiplayer team-based shooter developed and published by
Blizzard Entertainment.
In a time of global crisis, an international task force of heroes banded
together to restore peace to a war-torn world. This organization, known
as Overwatch, ended the crisis and helped maintain peace for a
generation, inspiring an era of exploration, innovation, and discovery.
After many years, Overwatch's influence waned and it was eventually
disbanded. Now in the wake of its dismantling, conflict is rising once
again. Overwatch may be gone... but the world still needs heroes.
Overwatch was released on May 24, 2016, for Windows, Xbox One, and
Playstation 4, and on October 15, 2019 for the Nintendo Switch. It is
currently available for purchase
here. Overwatch 2 is an upcoming expansion/sequel to the game, announced at
Blizzcon 2019.
