As we all know, I love Overwatch, but I can admit that the game had been in a rough state. But Overwatch went big, removing the 2, and going back to just Overwatch. This change brought us a brand-new season one with FIVE new characters being added at once, and ten by the end of the year. The last time more than one hero was released at a time was right when Overwatch became Overwatch 2 releasing Sojourn, Junker Queen, and Kiriko. The five characters added were Anran, Emre, Mizuki, Domina (Vaira Singhania), and Jetpack Cat (Fika). These characters have brought with them stories to add into the Overwatch Lore.
As each character is released, lore is added to the story automatically, but Overwatch has actually taken a step at moving it along. Back in the day, animatics were made for characters, which soon went to just short stories and comics, with the occasional animated short. Many people complained, and Overwatch listened. Recently, a character named Vendetta (Marzia Bartalotti) was added. To summarize her story, her father Antonia Bartalotti was killed by Blackwatch, a secret group that Overwatch had, when she was a little girl. She was kicked out of her home and lost everything and has now grown to get revenge. Vendetta takes over Talon after fighting Doomfist (Akande Ogundimu), and that’s where we are now
Many people didn’t like this though. Doomfist is arguably, the strongest person lore wise in the game. Akande fought hard and took many lives to get to his position as the Doomfist, like to become the Doomfist, you have to kill the current one and take the Doomfist (how many times am I gonna have to type Doomfist??). He has almost beat Overwatch countless times, and I think he didn’t because THEY ran. He got arrested, walked straight out of jail took over Talon, then got overthrown by the random angry woman who no one really knew until now (well because she just came out in game but also, she’s pretty young). But the thing is. He isn’t really dead.
I can’t find pictures of his fall but look at him. He’s so evil, everything he has done is for unexplained reasons, he just starts chaos just because he’s able to. Anyway. While him and Vendetta are fighting, he falls out of the building. We never see his body. In game map changes have shown that the news is looking for him. He’s still alive… There are many theories about this. Some thinks he did die, others are convinced that he allowed Vendetta to win just to see the chaos unfold, others just hate Vendetta idk. Anyway, she’s making big moves, and three members of Talon have left because they don’t want to work with Vendetta. Too bad that doesn’t matter because every organization in the game is evil, except Overwatch and the Wayfinder Society, and they all work with Talon, except like null sector and like the deep-sea raiders. I was gonna do a blog on all the organizations, but there’s too many…. Moral is, Overwatch is making big moves, story and gam wise, and I’m so excited for what’s to come.
I havent been able to follow their storyline since season 3
