    How did no one pick up on this since the trademark was made?

    https://www.facebook.com/OverwatchEU?brand_redir=1

    It's also a verified page.

    Couldn't it have been created under another name and they just renamed it now to have it ready? I don't use facebook so I have no idea.

    It was probably a blank page until today, for all we know.

    You would think that someone would have traced it to a blizzard computer/server or something

    This is the most amazing thing about Overwatch, they sat on it this long without a single leak.

    Hell, even when it was still Titan it never leaked.

    We knew Overwatch was a Blizzard game since April when they filed the trademark. The facebook page was blank until today, so it wouldn't have told us anything new.

    it was "titan" ? it doesnt resemble anything that I would expect from titan honestly, seems to me they just took the general universe they were planning for titan and made a different game arouind it.

    that said, I think I prefer this out of the blue footage for a new game more than 2 years of hyping their moba before they are able to show as any footage... and then next 2 years before the game goes live

    This ain't Titan. It's probably made out of some of Titan's cannibalized remains, but it ain't Titan :P

    The foundation is built upon the remains of titan, but the gameplay is not

    I'm impressed how Blizzard kept this under wraps without leaking.

    They would have had to apply through facebook to get their page verified and that takes time.

    I agree, I imagine it takes one call from the VP of Blizzard Marketing to a VP at Facebook. 10 minutes after the call breaks up, the page is verified.

    People who think this was Titan are retarded and also have no clue how business works.

    "Players would be able to select from classes with names like Reaper, Jumper, Titan, Ranger, and Juggernaut, each of which had its own special combat abilities and items, according to a source. Jumpers, for example, would be agile scouts with a teleport ability and the ability to quickly leap in and out of combat. Titans were tanks, while Rangers were snipers with cloaking and other abilities (think Nova from StarCraft II and the ill-fated StarCraft Ghost)."


    "All of the people who described the game to me made a lot of Team Fortress comparisons both in terms of aesthetics and gameplay. Three people who saw the game have compared the aesthetics to Team Fortress 2, with one source describing it as a cross between StarCraft II's in-game cinematics and Pixar's The Incredibles. Your perspective would switch between first- and third-person based on whether you were heading into combat or hanging out in a city, according to two sources—not unlike Bungie's Destiny."

    The cosplayers who found the information just never leaked it, or made their outfits in 1 hour...
    They were Blizzard employees, they showed their Craft Tuesdays or something like that during one of the gaps between panels.
