We find an aspect and a feeling which here touches on the genre of MOBAand a free-to-play economic model with in-game purchases. As the name of the game indicates, the games here are supposed to be very fast, to adapt to the habits of the mobile market. Because yes, Overwatch Rush is currently only available on iOS and Android.

Blizzard unveils a first video to present the concept of the game, but warns that the project is still in its early stages, and that many things still remain to be seen.
