Overwatch Story

The latest comic in Blizzard's digital Overwatch run has been released, and sheds some light on one of Overwatch's lesser-known heroes.

The Overwatch team was extraordinarily clever during the height of their popularity after the Omnic Crisis was brought to an end.

Overwatch -- the game being released on May 24 -- doesn't really have an overarching story.

The Omnic Crisis left the world in a semi-chaotic state, but it was a period of history filled with hope for the future, thanks to the efforts of the Overwatch team.

Other than the Overwatch agents that were directly involved with taking down the omnic uprising and saving the world, no one knows what really started the Omnic Crisis.

Overwatch was officially disbanded thirty years after its founding, after allegations of corruption and gross negligence -- as well as infighting between the troops -- slowly tore it apart.

Although the Omnic Crisis was the major driving force that originally brought the Overwatch team together, the successful end of the Crisis didn't spell the end for Overwatch.

The Omnic Crisis was pretty much that one explosive historical moment that served as the impetus for a lot of world-changing events on Earth in Overwatch.

The Overwatch team may have solved the world's biggest conflict to date when they came out victorious from the Omnic Crisis, but that didn't mean the organization was flawless.

The Omnic Crisis was a world-wide catastrophe for Earth.
