Today at Blizzcon, Blizzard announced its first new franchise in 17 years: Overwatch.
It's a first-person shooter, a type of game Blizzard hasn't made before. It seems to be based on team deathmatch combat, with a number of characters/classes that all have different abilities.
The beta test will start sometime in 2015 (you can sign-up here at the official site, unless it gets crushed by traffic).
Game director Jeffrey Kaplan (a.k.a. Tigole) said one of their big goals is to make it an approachable game in a way shooters often aren't. A cinematic trailer is available, as is a gameplay trailer.
Blizzard has set up stations for players at Blizzcon to play Overwatch this weekend, so more details will be coming soon.
