Information to come (it's just been trailered at Blizzcon) and is being live presented right now; I'll add information as it gets presented.

Team based multiplayer shooter that's action packed with over the top characters that's everyone can approach
Cartoonish style; very bright colors; reminds me of TF2
At least one turret class, sniper, Heavy with shield, two teams, one attacking one defending

Characters
Tracer - Fast running class with short range teleport, possibility to go back in time to a previous position to avoid being killed
Symmetra - turret stylish class, multiple weaker turrets with shorter range
Pharah - jet pack, rocket area attack
Hanzo - Bow sniper, can climb walls, one shot kill, can use heat vision
Reaper - Rogue stype dual wielding pistols with backstab style attack
Winston - Tank, melee, can jump large distances
Torbj�rn - Turret dwarf who can go overcharge to build faster turret, restore armor
Bastion - robot who can turn into a turret with shield
Mercy - medic class, flying, healing stream gun
Widowmaker - long range sniper, heat sight
Zenyatta - monk style class, using balls to create abilities and use them
Reinhardt - melee class, offensive, shield for front arc

Varied style of maps, down town Tokyo, desert, Egypt, Chinese villa, factory, dungeon all very detailed and colorful

Beta starts in 2015
