Blizzard's newest IP Overwatch has slowly been ramping up its marketing, with new characters being reveal semi-regularly The game has a ton of potential, what with it coming from World of Warcraft creators Blizzard, to blow our socks off and become a huge hit.

This is an evolution from the 2D way the original game was rendered, with Blizzard deciding to keep the aesthetic as graphical power grew.
