Blizzard is ramping up the delivery of new details about its upcoming Overwatch experience, and this time, the new trailer is focused on Torbjorn, an engineer who is equally adept at destroying enemies as he is helping his allies in combat.

The footage delivered is taken from a PC version of the title, earlier in the development process, running at 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second.

Torbjorn is shown on the Watchpoint Gibraltar map, and he plays a defensive role, using the Payload game mode.

Overwatch is a complex video game that aims to use the core ideas of the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena genre while also keeping the first-person shooter perspective.

Blizzard has been focusing on the characters that will be included in the title so far and will probably offer more information about the modes in the coming weeks.

Overwatch will encourage players to cooperate in order to achieve their objectives, and so far no details have been offered about the business model, although it's very likely that the title will be entirely free-to-play.

A major tournament for the title will take place during the coming BlizzCon event, and the development team will probably shift the title into open beta before the end of the year.
