Overwatch is easily one of the most anticipated video games of 2016, with a release date not even set, but an extended 2015 Beta test that got us all excited for gameplay. So that's why we're in love with Blizzard Entertainment this week for sharing tons of details about the game's playable characters, or heroes. You can check out every fathomable detail about each hero in PDF form. These reference kits are very in-depth and should be binge-read by any gamer looking forward to Overwatch.

The artistic design for the game is definitely a draw for players, so you'll be happy to learn that these reference kits focus on these details.

IGN reports:

Each one is a five-page PDF file that first gives you an image of the character with some close ups of their weapons and prominent armor pieces. In addition, you are given the exact hex color code of every part of the character. Scrolling down gives you more images of a whole range of poses, and weapons and accessories seen from all angles. It's an artist's and cosplayer's dream.

Do you have a favorite hero already? Did you play the Beta and fall in love with a character, or two? You can check out the reference kits for Zarya, McCree, Genji, Mercy and every other hero before the game hits shelves.

These reference kits can be found on Overwatch's "Media" pageon its official website, which also includes trailers, wallpapers and more.
