Blizzard Entertainment brought some amazing statues to the event based on their most recent FPS Shooter Overwatch. As you can see Tracer, Winston, Widowmaker and even Reaper have made themselves a home at the Blizzard area, even Malthael from Diablo 3 got in on the action (perhaps he's related to Reaper?). They have a big prescence this year at Gamescom as games such as World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, Overwatch, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm and StarCraft II are all playable at the event, including some exclusive content from all games that are making their public debut.
