Blizzard has revealed Overwatch Rush, a mobile game set in the Overwatch universe. Below is a developer gameplay preview, showcasing the 4v4 multiplayer game.
It will be a free-to-play mobile game and is being developed by a “dedicated team” at Blizzard, separate from Team 4, the developers solely focused on the main Overwatch game that just released its new season with 5 new heroes.
Here’s an overview given my Blizzard:
Overwatch Rush is a top-down hero shooter in the early stages of development. It is being built from the ground up for mobile and set in the Overwatch universe. It is designed for fast-paced, on-the-go play, with Hero-centric combat and playstyle customization that suits both team and solo players. The game is built for mobile devices, offering intuitive controls and bite-sized sessions without sacrificing depth.
There’s a geo test for the new mobile game, but it is restricted to players in specific regions and countries. You can check the game’s Discord to follow its development and opportunities to join future play tests.

It’s pretty much Overwatch but in a top-down camera perspective with mobile controls. It looks slower than the original game and quite honestly, I’m curious if it will be able to capture any foothold in the mobile market, considering it’s saturated with MOBAs and shooters that require two hands.
Based on earlier reactions online, people are not all that enthusiastic, with some pointing they should just revive Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard’s MOBA title that has a roster of characters based on different Blizzard franchises. The game isn’t dead, but it’s been on life support for years with no significant content updates or support from Blizzard.
