From the ashes of Titan comes Overwatch, a brand-new game and universe from Blizzard Entertainment. The newest addition to the Blizzard family was announced at today's BlizzCon opening ceremony.

Overwatch is at co-op team-based multiplayer shooter that certainly seems to have taken cues from Team Fortress 2.
