The only obvious one was genji/hanzo.
Ah, i guess there's also junkrat and roadhog

I'd like to see D.Va in one, but she's not connected to anyone else lorewise so that might be difficult.

Her and Lucio are both music stars or something, right?

Wasn't Zenyatta in 2?

Hope Blizzard doesn't take a decade to release all vids like Valve did with TF2 characters (and they actually had a relatively easy to use video maker for ingame assets!)

Hope Blizzard doesn't just say "fuck it" a few months from now and makes some final vid with like 10 characters in some melee all spouting their one-liners and call it a day.

Lucio's the music star but I think D.Va is just a starcraft player. Lucio still wanted that autograph I guess.

That was Mondatta actually, Zenyatta's teacher I believe.

Possibly Mcree and Pharah, I can see them talking/interacting at some point.

Junkrat/Roadhog against MCCree?

Zarya and Reinhardt, and she will kick his ass because progressive strong womyn.

There's apparently a Soldier 76 one in Dorado incoming.

The shorts also seem to be sort-of-showcasing the maps too.

Mercy and Pharah.

>Justice rains from above
>High noon shoots down all the rockets from the sky

76 and Reaper are connected, since they "killed" each other in an explosion.

I hope so, but they would have to be paired up against someone. Who would be the antagonists?

I think the comics also offer a clue to what will be done with videos. So who appears in Rhinehardts comic since I can't be bothered to read/check it?

the made it clear that the last animation is the soldier 76 one

Soldier 76 on monday

>Lucio's the music star but I think D.Va is just a starcraft player.

I'm pretty sure she's credited (as Hana Song) on one of the movie posters in Hollywood

So I don't understand the layout of these characters. Who's actually in the Overwatch group?

Winston was fighting Reaper and Tracer was fighting Widowmaker, so they're not in the same groups. Where do Reaper and Widowmaker fit then?

Is the cast half heroes and half villains? I don't understand yet.

nobody except reinhardt

if I had to guess, I'd say the characters who got comics are not going to get a short and vice versa.

I'm pretty sure this holds so far but I didn't read the McCree or Symmetra ones

videos were made for marketing purposes. The importance of marketing drops significantly once the game has come out

I think Reaper use to be in Overwatch and defected at some point.

Roadhog and Junkrat are the only ones I'm positive of, and that's only because it's as obvious as pairing Genji and Hanzo together.

No idea about the rest of the cast, as I'm not familiar with the lore all that much.

what the fuck was this?
twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/733327679739453440

In each of these locations, they set up gigantic figures of one character.

Symmetra and Lucio will be in one, since they are both tied to Vishkar.

Roadhog and Junkrat are already in a comic together, probably will have an animated short too.

I'm gonna guess and say Mercy/Reinhardt, Torbjorn/Bastion, and Zarya/Soldier 76

Are any characters confirmed couples?

Bastion and Torbjorn

Medic takes dwarf cock.

Too bad Reaper was already featured then.

I thought Zarya hates the robots.

Good thing there's no waifus in the comics yet then.

Considering how few villains are left, and how many heroes are left, it would surprise me to see Reaper again.

Im sure I missed some, but who else are confirmed good/evil ?

Reinhardts not a robot it's a suit of armour

You could maybe put Hanzo on there, since Genji is confirmed Overwatch

Soldier 76 is obviously gonna be fighting Sombra.

Soldier 76 and McCree, blizz said soldier was going down to dorado to take care of McCrees gang.

Might see some of pharas mom aswell if we are lucky.

Genji is good
mccree is evil
s76 is good
bastion is good
hanzo is bad
mei is good
torbjorn is good
d.va is bad
lucio is good
symmetra is good

Why would D.va be bad

>mccree is evil

wrong

balance
yeah, i see it now.

Most of the characters in Overwatch were never actually in Overwatch. Reaper used to be the Overwatch commander, but he's fighting on the villain side now. Zarya, Lucio, Widowmaker, Symmetra, Zenyatta, D.Va, Junkrat and Roadhog, Mei, Bastion, Hanzo, and Pharah are just random people with loose traces to Overwatch at best. Pharah's mom was an old member though.

McCree was a bad guy who got caught and got 2 choices, prison or join Blackwatch, Reyes/Reapers special division of Overwatch, there he set out to right the wrongs of his past and redeem himself

when the infighting got bad in Overwatch, McCree wanted no part of it, left Overwatch and set out to deliver his own brand of justice

youtube.com/watch?v=w0746xNFlEg

here's the McCree lore

Widowmaker = brainwashed corporate slut
Symmetra = willing corporate slut

Reaper = wanted to be the leader of overwatch, never got over it, now wants revenge against overwatch for something that happened when everything was blown up

Junkrat and Roadhog = Cuhrayzee mercenaries

Those are the "villains", they're probably not even working together.

>Junkrat and Roadhog = Cuhrayzee mercenaries

Roadhog's home was given to Omnics after the Omnic Crisis, so he has a reason for being an asshole.

Junkrat found "something" while scavenging that painted a target on his back.

Symmetra is a villain. Read her comic.

>Phara's mom
what? Where's this mom stuff coming from all of a sudden?

Pharah's mom was part of the original overwatch strike force together with reinhardt, tolberone, S76, Reaper and Mercy.

It sucks because half of these characters would go perfectly with Reaper and they wasted hom on winston, who has no connections to him story wise.

I have about as much respect for Overwatch as I do for the dog shit on my shoe.

It is Reddit, it is capeshit, it is video games, it is memes. I'm literally squealing and slamming my head on my desk right now, just at the thought that people can like this trash. It is Nolan, it is Tarantino, it is Cheeto dust. It is 9gag, it is Tumblr, it is Facebook, it is autism.

They're going to ship mercy and mcree.

Mark my words

I know we already got a comic for Roadhog/Junkrat, but an animation explaining how they got from the Australian wasteland to being part of Overwatch would be cool.

Overwatch vs blackwatch

They where never in Overwatch.
They're just criminals.

Strike team during crisis:
Torb
Rein
Soldier 76
Reaper
Pharah's Mum

Overwatch before disbanding:
Torb
Rein
Soldier 76
Reaper
Pharah's Mum
Mercy
Genji
Tracer
Winston
Mcree

Overwatch post recall:
Winston
Tracer
Genji
Torb
Mercy
Rein

I meant part of the game.

There's no Australia map in the game, there's never even reference aside from the characters themselves.

Actually Torbjorn and Reinhardt and good friends. They will probably be paired together if anything.

There is an explanation. They've fled Australia because Junkrat found a treasure that literally everyone's after. He found the sci-fi equivalent of the one ring.

He's now hopping from country to country robbing banks and committing the heists of a lifetime. Among them the bank in Dorado (you spawn in the blown up vault) and the Queen's jewels in London.

How much are Blizzard paying notMoot to turn a blind eye to all the blatant Overwatch shilling?

>Strong womyn has to win
>Russia cant win
I see a problem here.

Mei was also a part of overwatch before they disbanded and after recall.

I knew i'd missed someone.

I want to see one of tracer and dva going shopping and forcing widow to try on cute outfits.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE

She was never part of the fighting force so it's easy to forget.

I'd actually like this to happen.

>Slice of life
Shit taste desu

>Symmetra is autistic
Has diversity gone too far?

I think Zenyatta was in the video though, the omnic Mondatta was with before giving his speech.

She is just autistic.

Autists make the most stereotypical villans

>symmetra is good
Nigger what

(you)

>a comic for Roadhog/Junkrat


why the hell doesn't Roadhog talk in the comic anyway? He talks in the game.

yup, probably something to do with their old days, feeling washed up, clinging to the past, and coming out of retirement

>Going as far as replying to that horrible, horrible bait
What are you doing

She isn't necessarily evil she's just too autistic to understand that not everyone wants too live in under a mega corporation.

that's some serious straw reaching user

getting b8'd

All those memes and buzz words and no mention of the gameplay, excellent post mate. Now play the game and see why people are so obsessed with it.

don't even bother user...

Lucio and Symmatra seems likely. his story states that he stole some stuff from the Vishkar corp and stopped them before, seems likely he would stop them again.

They're making more shorts? I thought the last one is on the 22.

Roadhog/Junkrat is obvious

Bastion and Zenyatta

Reinheart and Zarya

There are 3 new characters coming, 1 is korean.

That will most likely be her cinematic.

>game already has lore videos up

jesus christ

or zarya and zenyatta, playing off of zarya's hate for omnics and whatnot

>there's a short on the 22nd

news to me, user.
