Soldier 76 as Captain America, Reaper as the Winter Soldier

Zarya does the heavy lifting in new Overwatch gameplay video
Zarya‘s character design alone won a lot of hearts when she was first announced at PAX East this year. We now have a new video of this Russian bodybuilder in action straight from the Overwatch team, and her kill count is just as refreshing and fabulous as her pink hair and atypical bo

Bastion beep boops today's Overwatch gameplay preview
Bastion is the focus of the latest Overwatch gameplay preview. Though often described as a powerful defensive character, we see Bastion playing offense on a payload map. There appears to be a good reason for that: it can use its stationary turret form on top of the payload, making it not-so

Overwatch's Widowmaker gameplay preview
Overwatch‘s Widowmaker is the subject of the latest gameplay preview. I daresay Widowmaker is one of the more highly anticipated Overwatch characters alongside the mascot Tracer. The first half of today’s video doesn’t make her look like much — but she pulls it toget

Overwatch preview shows Winston just monkeying around
Overwatch‘s Winston is not actually a monkey. He’s an ape. A great ape, to be specific, and since most apes do not have powered armor, glasses, and short-range electrical discharge guns, perhaps one could even classify him as some sort of awesome ape. He’s also the bigg

Overwatch's Pharah rains death from above
Overwatch‘s Pharah is the focus of the latest gameplay preview. Today’s preview is a full match on Watchpoint: Gibraltar, a Payload map. Pharah is playing defense and racks up a monstrous 37 kill streak before finally being taken down. Watchpoint: Gibraltar’s wide open, ve

Overwatch shows off Reinhardt in all of his smashing glory
What kind of person brings a hammer to a gunfight? The same sort of person that towers over everyone in massive mechanical armor and will happily remind all of those little people with guns that all he needs is the hammer. Yes, Reinhardt might be a melee-only hero in Overwatch, but he has

Overwatch's Torbjorn racks up kills in latest gameplay video
Overwatch‘s Torbjörn is the focus of the game’s latest video preview. Torbjörn is the game’s equivalent of the Team Fortress 2 Engineer — and veteran Team Fortress 2 players will recognize the turret-based gameplay immediately. That said, Torbjörn certainly appears t

Overwatch: Symmetra gameplay video shows tactical moves
Symmetra isn’t the flashiest of champions in Blizzard’s upcoming first-person shooter, Overwatch. Rather than racking up the kills, she plays a deeper game, supporting her team with shields, slowing fields and teleports to help them get in the action and stay there. And when pla

Overwatch Tracer video shows her topping the DPS charts

See master bowman Hanzo strut his stuff in Overwatch
It’s like an ironclad rule of cinema that you should be afraid of the person bringing an anachronistic weapon to a fight. Overwatch makes a point out of that with Hanzo, the master bowman, who is bringing a bow to a gunfight. Your first instinct might be that Hanzo is going to be sh

Check out McCree's gameplay in Overwatch
Playing McCree in Overwatch seems like it should be pretty simple, in concept — he’s a man with a gun. On the one hand, that seems to make him the odd man out in a game with a cast including a hyperintelligent gorilla, a robot monk, and woman who travels through time. The up s

Overwatch: On counterplay and team compositions
In the Darkmoon Faire area of BlizzCon, a small group of Overwatch representatives were discussing counterplay strategies for heroes along with potent or unorthodox team compositions. Overwatch was never designed as a game where you stick to just one hero for the entire match. Check out a q
