Blizzard Entertainment has created an outstanding success with their first team-based shooter. “Overwatch” was released back in May 2016 and has already reached over 30 million users across the globe. Analysts from the video game industry have attributed the game’s overwhelming popularity to its amazing after-market support. The development team has continuously supported the FPS with regular updates and balance changes.
Now, it has been speculated that a Game of the Year edition will become available later this week.
