Overwatch, retroactively referred to as Overwatch 1, is a 2016 multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. Released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in May 2016, and later for Nintendo Switch in October 2019, the game supports cross-platform play across all platforms. Described as a 'hero shooter,' Overwatch assigns players into two teams of six, each selecting from a diverse roster of characters known as 'heroes,' each with unique abilities and roles. The game is set sixty years into the future of a fictionalized Earth, following the resolution of the 'Omnic Crisis,' where an international task force called Overwatch was formed to combat hostile robots. The game's storyline revolves around the reformation of Overwatch by its former members to protect the world from emerging threats. The gameplay mechanics involve squad-based combat with three main hero classes: Damage heroes who deal damage, Tank heroes who absorb damage, and Support heroes who provide healing and buffs. Players can switch heroes mid-game to adapt to different situations, promoting dynamic team compositions. Overwatch features various game modes, including casual play, competitive ranked play, and modes supporting esports competitions. The game received universal acclaim from critics for its accessibility, diverse hero characters, cartoonish art style, and enjoyable gameplay. It achieved over $1 billion in revenue in its first year and had more than 50 million players after three years. Overwatch was considered one of the greatest video games of all time, winning numerous Game of the Year awards and fostering a popular esports scene with the Overwatch League. Although the servers were shut down in 2022 in preparation for Overwatch 2, the game remains historically significant and highly regarded in the gaming community. Overwatch's success is evident in its critical acclaim, with many praising its innovative gameplay and strong esports presence. It continues to be celebrated for its impact on the gaming industry and its enduring popularity among players and fans.
