When Does Overwatch Launch In Your Region?

Overwatch is the first new Blizzard world since StarCraft eighteen years ago. Though in that time I suspect what you think of when you think "Blizzard" has changed around eighteen times.

Just like the open beta from earlier this month, Overwatch will launch worldwide simultaneously, meaning you and all your international chums can play together from the off.

Overwatch will launch at 4pm PT on Monday May 23rd, which is 7pm ET, 12am BST/CET on Tuesday.

We won't be getting pre-release review code for Overwatch, which is a shame although we'd want to play it some post-release anyway to see how it shakes out in real conditions. We have had a lot of opportunities to play it during beta however, stretching back to last November.
