Blizzard has announced that Overwatch's beta will begin this autumn at PAX East today. Interested players can sign-up to participate in the game's trial on Battle.net.
In addition to the beta news, Blizzard also revealed two new characters: Zarya and Jesse McCree, a cowboy inspired figure. Blizzard has been criticised for the design of women characters in the game, and it seems Zarya is a response to that criticism.
Overwatch is a team-based, PvP multiplayer shooter based on the transformed remnants of cancelled MMO Titan, and Blizzard's first new IP in almost two decades.
