Update 2: Overwatch to launch Spring 2016 (June 21st estimated) PC/XB1/PS4

Update 2: The contents of the Origins Edition of Overwatch have been revealed

Overwatch Origins Edition Includes:
21 Heroes
5 Skins:
Reaper: Blackwatch Reyes
Soldier: 76: Strike-Commander Morrison
Bastion: Overgrown Bastion
Pharah: Security Chief Pharah
Tracer: Slipstream Tracer
Overwatch themed content for other Blizzard games:
Heroes of the Storm: Tracer Hero
World of Warcraft: Baby Winston Pet
Starcraft 2: Overwatch themed Portraits
Hearthstone: Cardback
Diablo 3: Mercy Wings

So that means Overwatch heroes have also been confirmed for Heroes of the Storm even though it was highly suspected already. Maybe something to see at Blizzcon? Also might mean since all of this is getting unlocked with purchace of Origins edition, maybe Overwatch may be a Free-to-play game still.

Looks like a day early the likely launch date of June 21st (Listed as an “Expected game release date”) and that Overwatch will be heading for sure to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One has been outed by a early release of a official blizzard website “http://us.battle.net/en/int?r=bnet” showing off the below picture. While none of the links on it work, so you can’t pre-order yet expect to be able tomorrow after the opening ceremony.

Not only does this tell us that the business model will likely be a buy to play with skins ontop of it. But a great idea of the release date barring any delays. Overall I’m not too surprised with either but it’s nice to see that Overwatch will indeed be getting skins as buying them seems to be one of my guilty pleasures.
