Event Objectives:

This year's PAX East marks the first time Overwatch will be publically playable in the U.S. on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One—so if you want to get in on the action, assemble your team and head over to the official Blizzard booth. You'll have the opportunity get your hands on the latest version of the game, pick up a payload of goodies (including a limited edition print of our first comic short), and more!

We'll have demo stations available from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EDT in booth #2093 of the Expo Hall, so if you're in the area (and in the mood for some dashing heroics), be sure to stop by and check it out. 

For the Watch:

Twelve players. Two teams. One legendary prize. This PAX East, Penny Arcade's Jonathan "Gabe" Gabriel (cartoon alias of Mike Krahulik) and Tycho Brahe (aka Jerry Holkins) will go head-to-head in Overwatch as they battle for bragging rights and ultimate ownership of...The Watch.

Making its first appearance in 1999, The Watch has been a running gag in Mike's and Jerry's  celebrated comic strip for nearly 20 years. Now, after decades of fictional theft, backstabbing, and sometimes actual stabbing, it's time to settle the score in true gamer fashion: with an epic PvP showdown. 

Will it be Team Gabe or Team Tycho who emerges victorious? Come witness the grudge match of the century Saturday, April 23 at 6:30pm EDT in the PAX Arena Stage to find out—or watch online at Twitch.tv/PAXArena!
