VIDEO: Overwatch Open Beta wants you

Overwatch is a pretty big deal. It's a new online multiplayer shooter which comes from Blizzard - yep the company behind World of Warcraft.

Needless to say, the profile for this one couldn't be any higher, and they're going to want to get as many players as possible in early. So you're getting a chance to try out the game for free.

You're getting recruited.

The story stuff is all well and good but it's the glimpse of gameplay at the end that's probably most exciting. It just looks so over the top, like a zany anime come to life, and that's definitely what they're going for with the cell shaded style.

Reports from previous closed betas have been pretty positive and we're definitely going to be giving this one a go.

The open beta for Overwatch runs from the 5th to the 9th of May 2016 on PC and consoles.
