Blizzard’s next big game is coming a little earlier than expected … depending on what continent you live on.
The developer has revealed when the servers for its anticipated online shooter Overwatch will go live. If you live in the Americas, you’ll actually get to play the team-based game a bit before its launch date on May 24. When it becomes available, it’ll be 4 p.m. Pacific and 7 p.m. Eastern on May 23. You can see what times it’ll go live around the world in the image below.

Above: Now you know exactly when you can start playing.
Overwatch drew almost 10 million players during its open beta. Now, you’ll have to pay if you want to experience more of the game.
Overwatch is Blizzard’s first new intellectual property in decades. For years, the company has depended on Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo. If it’s a success, Overwatch can give Blizzard another reliable franchise in its already impressive stable.
