Overwatch Content Outlined By ESRB Rating

The ESRB has now rated Overwatch and the summary has outlined a few more details on the actual content being added in the full version of the game.

Overwatch has been rated “T” for Teen on the PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The content descriptors say: Blood, Use of Tobacco, Violence. The game is an online multiplayer FPS so most of the action involves guns.

The rating summary mentions: “This is a first-person shooter in which players join an international task force trying to restore peace to the world. Players use a variety of firearms (e.g., pistols, machine guns), arrows, and futuristic weapons (e.g., laser blasters) to attack enemies in team combat objectives.

Combat is frenetic with realistic gunfire, cries of pain, and explosions. Splashes of blood briefly appear with each successful hit. One character is depicted smoking a cigar.”

Overwatch is the new online multiplayer FPS developed by Blizzard. The game currently has a Spring 2016 release. Since this game is multiplayer centric, it sadly has no single player campaign. If you want to a single player experience, you are better off buying some other FPS coming out later this year.
