Overwatch Beta Begins October 27

Blizzard’s free to play mutliplayer team based shooter, Overwatch, will be commencing its beta on October 27 (which is, incidentally, earlier than anyone, including Blizzard, expected it to be). So basically, if you have been excited to know what a Blizzard developed shooter might be like, and wanted to play it, the good news is you can do so starting Tuesday.

“The Overwatch beta officially begins October 27, and we’re getting ready to invite our first batch of recruits for some field-testing,” Blizzard said. “The beta test will kick off on the 27^th with Americas and Europe gameplay regions, with Asia to follow.”

If you are interested in being invited for the beta, make sure to sign up for it first– since it is a closed beta with a small group of players, there is no guarantee that you’ll be let in, but then again, there also is not any harm in trying.
