Overwatch Heroes

Overwatch Game Director Jeff Kaplan recently sat down with the team at IGN to check out some of the history behind the game's characters.

The Overwatch team has released a new bit of lore -- an interview with young inventor Efi Oladele, recipient of the Adawe Foundation's prestigious genius grant at just 11 years old.

In a move that I'm seriously delighted about, Overwatch hero Lúcio is headed to Heroes of the Storm.

When the Omnic Crisis hit the world, Overwatch was there to respond and eventually defeat the Omnic threat.

Blizzard fans are a persistent sort, especially when we come across unsolved mysteries -- for years in vanilla, people tried to unravel the mysteries of Ashbringer entirely of their own accord, simply due to a few hints placed in game.

The World of Warcraft team isn't the only one throwing out updates today -- Ana Amari, the newest Overwatch hero is now available for play on live realms.

Overwatch launched on May 24th and most of the Blizzard Watch crew has been obsessed with why they haven't received the Play of the Game, who is going to be the next hero, and why Matticus won't group with any of us.

The way Overwatch heroes are balanced to counter each other is a thing of beauty.

Let me start this out by saying we're writers, not artists — but today, inspired by this super cool kid-created Overwatch hero, we decided to try making some heroes of our own.

Now that we've all had a chance to check out Overwatch during the open beta let's talk about what we enjoyed: namely, the heroes. After all, with a painful two weeks to wait before the game itself comes out, we've got plenty of time to chat about our favorites.
