The big reveal at Blizzcon 2014 came out of the blue. I think many were expecting an announcement of an expansion for one of the current intellectual properties. No one was expecting the announcement of a brand new IP, especially after the demise of Titan. Titan fell, and from its ashes rose the phoenix that is… Overwatch.

Bellular Gaming does a great job in giving an overview of what to expect. They had live versions to play at Blizzcon, and between that and the Overwatch merch people were sporting, the game is a success before it even hits closed beta testing.
