About

Overwatch is a team-based first-person shooter video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The game features a diverse cast of heroes, each with unique abilities and roles categorized into three main classes: Tanks, Damage, and Support. Tanks absorb damage, Damage heroes deal damage, and Support heroes provide healing and buffs. Notable robot heroes include Bastion, a versatile combat robot, and Orisa, a robotic centaur designed for tank roles. Players can switch heroes during matches to adapt to changing strategies. The game's storyline is set in a futuristic world, sixty years after the "Omnic Crisis," where robots turned against humanity. Overwatch was formed to combat this threat and later became a peacekeeping force. The game includes various modes such as objective-based standard and competitive matches, arcade modes, and custom game types. Updates have introduced new heroes and reworks, enhancing gameplay dynamics. Overwatch 2, the sequel, offers a free-to-play experience with new heroes, maps, and modes, emphasizing dynamic team play and fast-paced action.
