In March 2016, months before Overwatch was launched, Blizzard released the Recall cinematic. It tells the story of scientist gorilla Winston who, realising that the world could use a few more heroes, issues a call to his old teammates in hope of re-assembling the Overwatch team. Three years later, we’ve still not seen the result of that message.
This refusal to push the story forward is a source of frustration for many of Overwatch’s most dedicated fans. But it’s a deliberate move from Blizzard; the team knows exactly where it’s headed - there is a present day story - but steps need to be taken before we get there. If this were the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’re very much in phase one; Overwatch’s version of first Avengers movie is coming, but we need to establish what came first before we can get to that iconic team-up scene.
