Overwatch Lore

When the Omnic Crisis hit the world, Overwatch was there to respond and eventually defeat the Omnic threat.

Blizzard fans are a persistent sort, especially when we come across unsolved mysteries -- for years in vanilla, people tried to unravel the mysteries of Ashbringer entirely of their own accord, simply due to a few hints placed in game.

So I was thinking about Overwatch, something I do a lot for a game I don't play.

Overwatch was initially founded at the behest of the United Nations during the Omnic Crisis to help combat the omnic menace.

Well this is different -- it looks like we get more than one Overwatch comic with the introduction of the new hero Ana Amari.

A new free Overwatch comic, Ana Amari: Legacy is now available on the official website and as a Madefire motion book.

Speculation has run rampant about potential new heroes in Overwatch, and today that anticipation went into overdrive as Overwatch's official Twitter account threw out a new image that may or may not be a tease for a new hero.

We've spent several weeks talking about the history of the Overwatch organization -- everything that's gone before, from the Omnic Crisis to the infighting that led to the downfall of Overwatch itself to the global fallout from the Omnic Crisis that continues to affect the world.

Welcome to episode 22 of Lore Watch!

When Overwatch was first created to combat the Omnic Crisis, the general consensus was that only the best of the best would do for the team.
