Nintendo was definitely not pulling any shots with their latest Nintendo Direct. To kick it off straight into high gear, they opened the direct with confirmation that Overwatch is coming to the Nintendo Switch… on October 15th! They have since shared a load of new Overwatch Legendary Edition screenshots, artwork and an official factsheet of what player can come to expect from the game.
We have gathered them all up below for you so feel free to bask in every single image.
THE WORLD NEEDS HEROES The fight for the future arrives on Nintendo Switch!
Play Blizzard Entertainment’s acclaimed teambased shooter at home or on the go* with Overwatch® Legendary Edition, which comes complete with all of the latest heroes, maps, and game updates—along with a new Switch-exclusive control option that takes advantage of the console’s unique capabilities.
Overwatch features 31 unique heroes, each bringing their own incredible powers and gamechanging ultimate abilities into battle on objective-based maps set across the world. Players can switch heroes mid-match to adapt to the ever-changing situation on the field—but victory will best be achieved when heroes combine their powers and act as a unified team.
GAME FEATURES
