A New Overwatch Game Has Just Been Revealed, but I Wouldn't Be Surprised if You Missed It
The mobile-first Overwatch Rush features stylized heroes in quick matches and will launch select region testing soon, developed by a dedicated Blizzard team.
- On Tuesday, Blizzard Entertainment announced Overwatch Rush, a top-down hero shooter in early development for Android and iOS devices.
- Blizzard said a `new, separate, dedicated team focused exclusively on` Overwatch Rush is developing it to ensure it won't divert resources from Team 4, which remains focused on Overwatch.
- Early footage shows two teams of four on a Control-style map with stylized cartoonish characters and a touchscreen control scheme using left/right finger layout.
- Blizzard says Rush will enter select-region testing soon to fine-tune gameplay, server stability, and monetization; the free-to-play game offers optional in-game purchases following Diablo Immortal and Warcraft Rumble.
- Described as `an entirely new game- not a port`, Overwatch Rush reimagines Overwatch as a top-down mobile shooter amid a recent resurgence of the nearly 10-year-old franchise.
