![]() Pharah never worked for Overwatch but wanted to and her mother did. It's Winston who illegally reconnected the Overwatch network, and it's he who issues the Overwatch Recall - calling back into service all agents - upon which the game begins.īroadly, the goodies associated with the organisation Overwatch are: Soldier 76, Ana, Reinhardt, Torbjorn, Mercy, McCree, Winston, Genji, Tracer and Mei. These attacks were led by mysterious and merciless killer Reaper, but were thwarted by Winston, a gorilla scientist who refused to let Overwatch go. But Talon has also been attacking old - not quite dormant - Overwatch outposts hoping to steal data and whereabouts of all old operatives. ![]() An era of peace was ushered in and Earth's champion Overwatch prospered for 20 years under the command of Morrison, expanding its influence and numbers all over the world.īut in the six years since Overwatch disappeared, tensions have risen between human and omnic, stirred by Talon terrorist attacks - particularly the assassination of Shambali leader Tekhartha Mondatta by Widowmaker. The omnics had taken over most of the world but with the help of Overwatch they were eventually beaten, forced back into submission, although a religious omnic off-shoot was formed called Shambali that claimed omnics had souls, and crusaded for equality with humans. God programs - AI super-brains - took over the omniums and turned omnics against humans, equipping them for war, and the Omnic Crisis began. For years the omnics had served humans, churned out by huge omnium factories, but something went wrong just over 30 years ago. It was a super-team created to end the Omnic Crisis - omnic robots turned bad (or was it robots awakening from slavery and rebelling?). That was six years ago.īut once upon a time Overwatch was great, held aloft and cheered around the world. Overwatch was disbanded and declared illegal, and all agents associated with it scattered to the wind. I say "was" because it was destroyed, torn apart by allegations and in-fighting and eventually an explosion at the Swiss headquarters that reportedly killed two of its founding and leading members, Gabriel Reyes and John "Jack" Morrison, and maybe Ana Amari, Pharah's mother. Overwatch was an organisation formed by Earth's United Nations 30 years earlier. The game takes place in a fictionalised version of Earth 60 years into the future. I didn't know much at all about it after 20 hours or so of playing but now I do, I wanted to share it with you, because knowing a bit more about adds a certain je ne sais quoi. It isn't rammed in your face, it doesn't get in the way of the action, but it is there. ![]()
