Overwatch Is Free To Play This Weekend - Now's Your Chance To Try Out The Newest Hero

Now that the latest hero, the dual wielding badass healer Moira, has been officially added to the game's roster, Blizzard has begun yet another free weekend for players to try out the hit FPS Overwatch.

The free-to-try period will last until November 20th with the full roster of heroes available to try out, as well as access to the title's Quick Play, Custom Games, and Arcade Modes. The only thing really not available to curious players is the Competitive Mode, for obvious reasons.

Blizzard is not stingy when it comes to these "try before you buy" events, allowing those hesitant to dip their toes into the proverbial multiplayer world of Overwatch adequate opportunities to see what the game has to offer first hand. All progression and loot boxes earned throughout the trial periods will also cross over, os if you liked it enough to buy it - you get to keep that sweet, sweet loot.

"The world needs heroes. Join over 30 million players as you clash on the battlefields of tomorrow. Choose your hero from a diverse cast of soldiers, scientists, adventurers, and oddities. Bend time, defy physics, and unleash an array of extraordinary powers and weapons. Engage your enemies in iconic locations from around the globe in the ultimate team-based shooter. Take your place in Overwatch"

It's the perfect time to try it out as Moira, the Talon geneticist whose methods were too dark for Overwatch to handle, hits the full roster list. You can read our full breakdown of how she plays, her backstory, and her abilities right here with our coverage from BlizzCon.

Overwatch is available now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC and will be available at a discounted price while the free event is going on.
