Blizzard Entertainment's explosive first-person shooter Overwatch is surprisingly the early unlock for next month's Humble Monthly according to a post on the Humble Blog.

Humble Monthly is a subscription service run by Humble Bundle where gamers can grab a bunch of pretty cool games for the low price of $12/month. Each month usually contains eight or more games with a portion of the proceeds going to support a specific charity. One of the games is an "Early Unlock" that subscribers can get access to right away, and the title in the spotlight for October's Humble Monthly is Overwatch.

If you've been living under a rock, Overwatch is a team-based first-person shooter created by Blizzard Entertainment, the fine folks behind the WarcraftStarcraft, and Diablo franchises. It currently features 28 unique heroes and three new heroes are added every year. The game's professional league recently announced that eight new teams would be joining the pool for a total of twenty.

Additionally, beyond all this if you stay subscribed for November and December you'll get bonus loot boxes to get new cosmetics in Loot Boxes.

September 2018's Humble Monthly opened up with giving players a choice between two package options along with a bunch of other great games for the low price of twelve bucks a month:

Staxel still has a ways to go in development, but what's already in the game is a bunch of fun for you and your friends.

Option 1

Staxel (Our Preview) is a crafting and farming game that mashes up some of the best elements of Minecraft and Stardew Valley into one unique package. Developed by Plukit and published by Humble Bundle, the game recently released its 1.3 Friendship Update.

Sniper Elite 4 (Our Review) is the latest game in the franchise of head poppers and show stoppers. There's not much better than killing nazis at a distance with precision sniping, and Sniper Elite 4 delivers beautifully.

The protagonist Velvet joins a band of pirates following a traumatic event three years in her past; you and her fellow crewmates will travel all over the kingdom of Midgand.

Option 2

Rise of the Tomb Raider (Our Review) is the second game in the Tomb Raider franchise's most recent revival. Travel to Siberia in search of the mythical city of Kitezh and use all of the tools in your arsenal to uncover ancient mysteries and discover grand treasures.
