What Is Overwatch Rush?
Overwatch Rush is a completely new mobile hero shooter designed specifically for Android and iOS devices. Unlike Overwatch 2, this game is not a port. It has been developed from scratch with mobile gamers in mind.
The first thing that stands out is the top-down perspective, which is a departure from the traditional first-person perspective. The matches are designed for a 4v4 format which will have control-style objectives and quicker gameplay. The art style is a bit more stylized and is optimized to run smoothly even on lower-end smartphones.
Mobile-Optimized Gameplay and Features
Blizzard has also adjusted hero abilities to work better with touchscreen controls. Matches in this game will be shorter that will make them ideal for quick gaming sessions on the go. Players can also expect customization options that support both solo and team-based playstyles.
It is expected that more regions will be added for the Overwatch Rush Regional test. Most mobile games initially see early release or beta test in Asian countries, as it has most number of mobile gaming players.
