Genji

I will never sacrifice my honor: http://blizz.ly/MeetGenji The former son of the master of the Shimada ninja clan, Genji was almost slain in a disagreement with his brother Hanzo over their family's illegal businesses. On the brink of death, Overwatch saved his life by putting him through an extensive process of cyberization in exchange for his help in their operations against his family's empire.

The first was Genji, a ninja in cybernetic armor wielding shuriken and a pair of katana. His moves are about quickly closing ground between himself and his enemies, then dispatching them with kick ass ninja moves.

D.Va

I play to win! http://blizz.ly/MeetDVa D.Va is a former professional gamer who pilots a state-of-the-art mech in defense of her homeland, charged with protecting South Korea from a colossal omnic monstrosity that periodically rises from the sea.

Next was D.Va, a cutesy pilot of a huge mech suit. Inside the suit she works as a tank-like character, absorbing damage and dealing even more. However, she can also ditch the armor and self destruct it in order to trade slow and steady for fast and deadly.

Mei

Our world is worth fighting for: http://blizz.ly/MeetMei While investigating unexplained climate phenomena from Watchpoint: Antarctica, Mei and her fellow scientists were forced to enter cryostasis to survive a catastrophic polar storm. Emerging years later, Mei found that many of the issues had worsened, and she was more determined than ever to track down the causes of the threats to the planet's ecosystem.

Lastly we say Mei, a character who's moves focus around ice. She has an array of area of effect and damage over time abilities that help her reshape the battlefield. One of which is literally a wall of ice that can block out enemy fire and create obstacles in their path.

Overwatch is a very unique game. It combines the squad-based, team centered combat of Team Fortress 2 with the wide character selection and ability system of a MOBA, then adds its own flair to it. I can't wait to see this game hit the competitive eSports scene. It is highly entertaining to watch!

Overwatch is slated for a Spring 2016 release and will be on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
