Today at BlizzCon 2014, Blizzard announced its first new franchise in 17 years, Overwatch. It's a team-based, 6v6 multiplayer shooter with a focus on "fun, over-the-top" characters.

The game was introduced with a gorgeous CG trailer showing off Pixar-like animation of the Overwatch, "An elite international task force charged with ending the war and restoring liberty to all nations." You can check out the trailer below.

This will be interesting to watch. Looks similar to TF2... though I doubt they'll let you run servers of it, as it is Blizzard. :(

Gameplay looks generic, cinematic trailer looks amazing. Though, TF2 makes great cinematic too.

Seems to me like a quick-paced TF2 with a character variety akin to MOBAs.

Looks really neat. I wonder how they are gonna balance things. Some of them look a little bit too much.

I've never played any blizzard games, but maybe this will change that? I don't know. I guess I'll echo Jesus Faction and say that I'll have my eye on this.

I've played a fair amount of their games but lost interest in how they run things after WoW and SC2, but will still watch this with interest.

It looks like Tf2 and SMNC had a baby to me. Both games I enjoyed a lot

My reaction:

"Huh this is kinda pixar-y, O it's a shooter..... the character designs are cool, this is kinda like TF2, wait this is exactly like TF2, THIS IS A BLIZZARD TF2!!!"
