Welcome to Overwatch
Soldiers. Scientists. Adventurers. Oddities.
In a time of global crisis, an international task force of heroes banded together to bring peace to a war-torn world:
Monitoring.
This ended the crisis and helped maintain peace in the decades that followed, inspiring an era of exploration, innovation and discovery. But after many years, Overwatch's influence waned and the company was eventually disbanded.
Overwatch is gone but the world still needs heroes.
Choose a hero.
Overwatch features a wide range of unique heroes, from a time-hopping adventurer to an armored warrior wielding a rocket hammer to a transcendent robot monk. Each hero plays differently and mastering their abilities is the key to unlocking their potential. No two heroes are the same.
Play your part.

Whether you're engaging in frontline combat, providing defensive cover with your energy shield, or supporting your allies by amplifying their damage, each hero's abilities are designed to be effective within a team. Learning to use your abilities in concert with those of your teammates is the key to victory.
Team-based goals.
Teams of heroes compete across the planet. From protecting the secrets of the mysterious Temple of Anubis to safely escorting an EMP device across King's Row, the world is your battlefield.
