News::Blizzard wants its diverse fans to feel 'equally represented' by Overwatch's heroes

Polygon: Blizzard's new team-based multiplayer shooter, Overwatch, is set in a futuristic version of Earth, but it's not so separated by time and space as StarCraft, or as fantastical as Warcraft and Diablo. The game's diverse cast of characters come in a variety of shapes and sizes, genders and non-genders, ethnicities and ages. Look at the game's 12 confirmed characters, and you'll see an eclectic bunch. That's by design, the developer says. It wants players to feel well-represented by its cast of men and women (and robots and gorillas).
