Blizzard’s upcoming shooter Overwatch is now coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC, the developer has confirmed.
Overwatch was previously confirmed to only be coming to PC, but it looks like a console release is on the way too.
Blizzard’s upcoming title is a class-based first-person shooter that takes inspiration from titles such as DOTA 2, Team Fortress 2 and Heroes of the Storm.
Each individual character has a unique style, appearance and abilities that can be used on the battlefield to assist your team and defeat the enemy.
Imagines Overwatch as a mixture of DOTA 2 and Team Fortress 2, with some modern FPS mechanics thrown in for good measure.
