Here’s a rather cool notion. We’re all familiar with the concept of pre-loading. You like a game, buy it digitally, can download it early, and play it immediately at midnight. With Overwatch , a little something like pre-buying is happening. Even though the game and its servers will launch May 24, you’ll be able to find it on May 23.
Blizzard explained the reasoning behind the release date shuffle to GameSpot . There’ll be no waiting or delay for people who’re interested in owning a physical copy of the game. You can buy it on May 23 and go through the install early. Maybe, if there’s a day one patch, you’ll be able to grab it ahead of time too.
The hype for Overwatch is so real. Know what will rev you up even more? The latest animated short. “Dragons” focuses on Hanzo and Genji, the game’s two brothers, and it’s a lot of fun. Check it out!
