Overwatch’s Reaper Gameplay Video Released

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen Blizzard release videos of its upcoming FPS shooter Overwatch. These videos basically give us an idea of how the game will play upon its release and what we might be able to expect from certain characters. Well for those who are excited for the game, Blizzard has since released a new video.

This new video will show off another character from the upcoming game – Reaper. This is a masked character who is toting two guns, one in each hand which we have to say looks pretty awesome. In the video, we can see some of the Reaper’s abilities in action with one of them being a wraith form in which he can pass through enemies unharmed.

We also get to see a glimpse of his ultimate ability, Death Blossom, which basically lets him whirlwind around the map and shooting out bullets as he spins which kind of reminds us of Diablo 3’s Demon Hunter’s Strafe ability. Then again Blizzard hasn’t been shy about borrowing skills and features from its other games, so why not?

Now we should note that given that Overwatch has yet to be released, it is safe to say that some of the things you see in the video could be subject to change upon the final release. This will depend on whether Blizzard thinks the characters are too strong which will also rely on the beta and player feedback, but in the meantime the video above should give you an idea of what to expect.
