Welcome Back!





This week in Overwatch™ has been completely mindblowing. The closed beta has now started, and brings with it a flurry of new information, analysis, and content. Until this point, we have relied on Blizzard to provide us with videos and more, but now, finally, at long last, the game is in the hands of the players!

Both of us have been invited to be part of the beta test, and this week we will be sharing our experiences with you! There is also a lot of other news, as we move to weekly content and have BlizzCon right around the corner. Here are some of the topics we talk about this week...
  • Beta has arrived!
  • Already a new hero teased!
  • Aliens? 
  • Data from the beta client is mined,
  • And much more!
