Overwatch short introduces Soldier 76, an old gun-wielding Batman with a retro jacket

Overwatch is out tomorrow (or today, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:depending on where you live), and Blizzard is marking the occasion with an animated short about Soldier 76. If♔ you're not up on Overwatch's backstory, you probably know Mr. 76 as "That Call of Duty Guy" since he fights with an FPS-standard assault rifle and sprint ability on a battlefield full of chaingun robots and laser gorillas. But he's also one of🦩 the founders of the original Overwatch, a heroic association that he still can't shake years later.
Honestly though, trying to get out of the hero business is a tall order when you keep running around plaꩵying gun-toting Batman.
Overwatch's servers will open in a matter of hours. Why not pass the time by watching the rest of the animated shorts? There's one starring genius ꩲcyber ape W𝔉inston with a cameo by the ghostly Reaper, a second with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:🦂assassin Widowmaker and the time-jamming Tracer, and a third that reunites the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:bow-wielding🦹 Hanzo and cyborg ninja Genji.
Apparently Soldier 76's "Hero" animated short is ꦆthe finale to the first season of Overwatch character spotlights, but I hope we get more soon. Or at least one for my favorite explosive Australian duo, Ju✅nkrat and Roadhog.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM 🦩Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer ꦚfor CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
