Overwatch may finally have a confirmed release date on PlayStation 4, according to an advertising campaign over on IGN. Blizzard's team-based shooter has been in public testing for what feels like an eternity on PC, and it looks as though it's bringing its colourful cast of characters to Sony's latest console relatively soon.
The 24th May is supposedly the date to mark on your calendar, and if you pre-order, you'll apparently get access to the title's beta, which begins on the 3rd May. Funnily enough, the beta date coincides with the launch of Battleborn, so make of that what you will.
In any case, if these dates turn out to be correct, then we expect to hear a lot more about the game over the next couple of months. Are you interested in Overwatch? Bring a gorilla to a gunfight in the comments section below.

Im going for Battleborn i like the option of a singleplayer. I made that call after the fiasco thats called Evolve.
First uncharted, then mirrors edge and now overwatch... My poor wallet
But ...but...there's Uncharted 4 and Fire Emblem Fates and Doom Ç—Ç
Expecting good things from this. Blizzard are probably one of the best devs ever. I do feel sorry for battleborn must say.
I'm interested in it but only if I can play by myself. Plus I'm not pleased that console gamers have to pay a bit more then PC gamers because of bonuses that only benefit games on PC because only Diablo 3 is the only Blizzard game on PlayStation, now if they brought over Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm then it might be worth it.
@adf86 What bonuses are you talking about? And Of course you can play by yourself, if you are a solo player you will just be put into a group with others. Just like multiplayer in CoD for example.
Been waiting for this game for a while. Probably my most anticipated game of 2016
@Tasuki In the Origins edition you get some themed loot for Diablo 3, a pet in WoW, Tracer in Heroes of the Storm, a card back in hearthstone and something for Starcraft 2. My point was that (as far as I'm aware) the Origins edition is the only version available for PS4 yet they are charging more then PC because it has bonuses for games that aren't on PlayStation except Diablo 3.
As for Solo play, I was thinking like does it have to be essential to play with friends and communicate with others to get far? I love the idea behind the game and the characters look fantastic.
@adf86 From my understanding it's like Team Fortress 2, or objective modes in a game like Black Ops 3. There is not free for all or just killing aimlessly. You have object like one team trying to escort a vehicle to a certain point while the other team tries to prevent them from reaching the goal. Or a capture the flag mode. You don't have to play with friends and communication does help but not needed. Just don't play like rank play or hardcore mode and you should be fine.
@Tasuki Yeah it seems that the key to game is adapt on the fly by changing heroes instead of loadouts.
