Moire superlattices formed in van der Waals bilayers have enabled the creation and manipulation of new quantum states, as is exemplified by the discovery of superconducting and correlated insulating states in twisted bilayer graphene near the magic angle. Twisted bilayer semiconductors may lead to tunable exciton lattices and topological states, yet signatures of moire excitons have been reported only in closely angularly-aligned bilayers. Here we report tuning of moire lattice in WS$_{2}$ /MoSe$_{2}$ bilayers over a wide range of twist angles, leading to the continuous tuning of moire lattice induced interlayer excitons and their hybridization with optically bright intralayer excitons. A pronounced revival of the hybrid excitons takes place near commensurate twist angles, 21.8{deg}and 38.2{deg}, due to interlayer tunneling between states connected by a moire reciprocal lattice vector. From the angle dependence, we obtain the effective mass of the interlayer excitons and the electron inter-layer tunneling strength. These findings pave the way for understanding and engineering rich moire-lattice induced phenomena in angle-twisted semiconductor van dar Waals heterostructures.
