There’s only one thing better than playing Overwatch with your friends, and that’s playing Overwatch with your pets! Sure, it’s 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 Overwatch’s one year anniversary and the much awaited announcement of Doomfist, we’re throwing an animal costume party and all your favorite Overwatch characters are invited!
Here’s your lineup!
