Get To Know Overwatch’s Winston Just A Bit More Before Launch

Overwatch

A new CGI video series for Overwatch has debuted and it looks like we are going to be getting to know all of Overwatch’s characters more starting with Winston

Unlike all of those other “get to know a character” video we have had in the past for Overwatch it looks like this time around we have something slightly new. It looks like Blizzard is kicking off a new video series for the game and now we are getting to see more of the story behind some of the characters in a CGI manner. Yea, this isn’t any new gameplay for Overwatch but it is a nice and fun look at some of the story behind the characters we are all going to hopefully grow to love when the game lands on May 24^th.

The first in the series is titled Recall and it features on the massive Gorilla with a brain Winston. We get to see where he came from before the foundation of Overwatch and some of the basic story behind the organizations re-formation again. We also get a little bit of a look as to where the overall team has been and why it was disbanded or outlawed. It all sounds a bit like the plot for the upcoming Civil War film to me but it is kind of an open story idea and I’m interested to see how it plays out here for Overwatch.

Currently there is a closed beta going on for Overwatch and an open test slated for May 5^th to the 9^th. Xbox One players will be able to access said open beta a few days earlier on May 3^rd so lucky them.
