Beta Registration for Blizzard's Overwatch is Open Now

Blizzard, in case you haven't heard of them, are the juggernauts behind titles such as World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, and Hearthstone. It's fair to say they have some experience in game development, but they're asking for your help to test out their new game, Overwatch. 

Overwatch is an upcoming multiplayer FPS, with a heavy focus on strong, diverse characters and teamwork, and if you're interested you can sign up for a chance to participate in the upcoming closed beta. The beta starts in the US on October 27th, with dates for Europe and Asia to be announced soon.

Blizzard have given a couple of reasons as to why they're holding the beta. Not only do they want to test that the game is balanced, fun and fair, but they want to test that it doesn't overload their servers, and works on a wide array of systems. 

To find out all of the details and sign up for the chance to take part, head over to Battle.net. Dates for the European and Asian betas will also be announced there, so keep your eyes peeled!
