Animated Short “Dragons” revealed for Overwatch
In mere six days, the entire world can finally see what Overwatch is truly all about. This Blizzard Entertainment game is not an MMO in the likes of World of Warcraft and it is certainly not an RPG such as Diablo 3. None of the popular characters from aforementioned games can be found in Overwatch either. Overwatch is a squad-based multiplayer first-person shooter, emphasizing on co-operative gameplay using a cast of various heroes – each with their own abilities and roles within a team. The game is similar to Team Fortress 2 although this one is set to launch not only for PC’s but also for the current generation of consoles such as the PS4 and Xbox One.
An animated short film titled “Dragons” has been released, featuring the cityscapes of Overwatch’ maps. The film explores the history between the scions of the Shimada clan, Hanzo and Genji and forms the background story of both playable characters.
Hopefully there will be more of these animated shorts so that we may explore the lore behind each character in a visual form because let’s be honest, the video below is absolutely stellar!
