Winston Gameplay Preview
by JR Cook - 9 years ago show comments
In keeping with the trend over the last several weeks, Blizzard has just released the newest gameplay preview for their upcoming FPS game, Overwatch. With today’s hero announced that means we’re down to only three heroes remaining without previews.
Today’s featured character is Winston. Winston is a Tank character, equipped with a short range weapon called the Tesla Cannon. He also has a Jump Pack which allows him to leap through the air dealing significant damage and stunning enemies wherever he lands, and can deploy a shield projector which absorbs damage until it is destroyed. Allies within the shield are protected from incoming fire, but are able to return fire on enemies.
Winston’s Ultimate ability is called Primal Rage, which increases his health and damage done along with reducing the cooldown on his Jump Pack ability. While under the effects of Primal Rage, Winston cannot use his Tesla Cannon, but can only use melee attacks and his Jump Pack.
Check out the full preview of his gameplay in the video below. As always, you’ll want to watch the video in 1080p HD for the best viewing image quality.
Witness Winston’s primal rage in this complete, unedited match from an early version of Overwatch, captured in 60fps on PC. Here, Winston is on the attack in Watchpoint: Gibraltar, a Payload map set in an abandoned Overwatch outpost perched above the Mediterranean Sea.
