Release Date and Open Beta Dates

http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/blog/20055970/

May 3-4 open beta early access for pre-orders
May 5-9 open beta
May 24 release!

Wonder if the game will be down between May 9 and May 24.

Onlywatch to die next month. Overwatch to come out may. More news at 11.

Well... I hope we all had fun.

If you pre-purchase, you also get a second key for early access to give out to a friend :D

Most likely, gives them time to get the servers ready for release/fix any bugs that show up during open beta

It will be sent to you via email, after you pre-order and they release the codes.

that's quite an aggressive schedule given how much more work the beta still needs
