Overwatch

Overwatch’s May 24 launch actually happens May 23 in North America

Blizzard’s next big game is coming a little earlier than expected … depending on what continent you live on.

The developer has revealed when the servers for its anticipated online shooter Overwatch will go live. If you live in the Americas, you’ll actually get to play the team-based game a bit before its launch date on May 24. When it becomes available, it’ll be 4 p.m. Pacific and 7 p.m. Eastern on May 23. You can see what times it’ll go live around the world in the image below.
