Thereâs only one thing better than playing Overwatch with your friends, and thatâs playing Overwatch with your pets! Sure, itâs hard enough to keep humans on the payload, but at least when these critters ignore you, their cuteness will keep all your game-rage at bay. In celebration of Overwatchâs one year anniversary and the much awaited announcement of Doomfist, weâre throwing an animal costume party and all your favorite Overwatch characters are invited!
Here’s your lineup!
