Has some elements of TF2 but also very much more complex.

Let's see what happens but right now a large number of TF2 players are lined up to play it.

What a great feature. At the end of the match it shows a short clip of the most valued player and how they helped the team.

Hmm, I hoped it would be a bit more moba like.

Aedus · 15 Oct 2015 at 19:01

Can't wait for this. Loved TF2 and look like I'm going to love this.

27th October EU Beta

Now all I need is a key

UPDATE (October 23, 2015): We were able to complete setup and testing of our beta servers for Europe sooner than anticipated. As a result, we're happy to report that we will be launching the Overwatch Closed Beta in both the Americas and Europe gameplay regions on October 27.

Attack commencing in 3… 2… 1…

The Overwatch beta officially begins October 27, and we’re getting ready to invite our first batch of recruits for some field-testing!

The beta test will kick off on the 27th with Americas and Europe gameplay regions, with Asia to follow. Read the mission briefing below to learn more about our plans for the beta, and don’t forget to sign up if you’re interested in helping us shape the fight for the future.

I know it won't but I hope my many, many hours of Heroes of the Storm count for something when getting selected for this beta

Even if you are not able to get your hands on a Beta Key, there will be a few open weekend events to test the hardware.

So i guess everyone will get to try it at some point

Ohhhh, really? I will check my email.

Nope, nothing

JGStonedRaider · 27 Oct 2015 at 15:54

It hasn't even started yet, so somewhat doubtful you'd have access.
