"Overwatch" official release date has been confirmed by the game publisher, which is on June 21, 2016, according to Gamespot.

A few days ago, "Overwatch" closed beta has started its testing period to let fans try out the first features of the game. There are now a lot of testers for the closed beta phase and have been reporting problems to the official forums. There is still no news when the closed beta period will end. This game is only the first new franchise of Blizzard in 17 years.

Blizzard has now confirmed that the game will be released on or before June 21, 2016. The reveal was supposed to be one of Blizzard's BlizzCon surprises, according to sources.

It was reported that GameStop, online video game retailer, has gotten news that the multiplayer shooter game will be coming to the new generation consoles which are the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. It was previously reported that it was only coming to the PC, according to sources.

The gamers who will pre-purchase "Overwatch: Origins" edition will get the Noir skin for the Widowmaker, a character from the game, according to IGN. The pre-order page of the game is still not live at the moment.

All versions of the game will have a price tag of $60. It has a placeholder date of Dec. 31, 2016, according to Game Informer. This has cleared up the issue if the game will be a free-to-play game or it will have a price tag.

The physical version is called the Origins edition, which it seems to differentiate it from the digital version, according to VG247.

A Blizzard representative has told video game websites to wait for "Overwatch's" official release date and more details of the game during Blizzard's BlizzCon event.
