Overwatch Gameplay Video Shows Off Gunslinger McCree

In 13 minutes of an unedited match from “an early version” of Overwatch, Blizzard shows off another character in the growing roster of its upcoming competitive first-person shooter: McCree.

The video shows McCree taking shots every which way from his revolver on the Watchpoint: Gibraltar map. Watchpoint: Gibraltar is a “Payload” style map, one of Overwatch’s game modes.

McCree, equipped with a revolver named “Peacekeeper” and a quick draw, is a typical cowboy that you might imagine from old Clint Eastwood movies. McCree’s special abilities include a combat roll that allows him to dive in the direction he is moving while reloading his gun, a flashbang he can use to blind his enemies, and his ultimate ability, known as Deadeye, which allows him to line up a shot on everyone in his field of vision.

Last week, a similar gameplay video was released of a medic-type character named Mercy.

Overwatch was announced on November 7, 2014 at BlizzCon and is known to be a repurposing of work done on the now-cancelled MMO Project Titan that had long been in development by Blizzard. A closed beta is scheduled for some time in 2015. You can sign up here for said beta.
