Overwatch: The Movie is a highly popular, free-to-play, team-based first-person hero shooter developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. Initially launched in 2016 as a 6v6 shooter, the franchise transitioned into a 5v5 format with the release of its sequel in 2023. In early 2026, Blizzard simplified the branding, dropping the "2" to rename the live-service experience back to simply Overwatch.
