Overwatch launches on the 15th, but not at any of the standard times.

Nintendo’s eShop page for the game has been updated to state the following: “Overwatch® launches globally on October 15, 2019 at 11:00am PT”.

This will also presumably affect physical copies which include a download code and will be available for purchase that morning.

This is because Blizzard generally releases patches at that time and there's going to be both a major balance patch and the Halloween Event expected to drop that day.
