I imagine that in terms of characters, the priority is going to be builders and supports as the game is lacking in both.

Sombra has been spied as a Support Sniper hero, and Athena/White Feminine Robot is probably going to be a support/builder as well.

I'm not sure if anyone enjoys or is interested about Symmetra (especially because she's not white, I know /v/'s taste) but she's officially a Neutral Evil character, based off of the cliche "Cyberpunk Evil Company" like in Deus Ex, GiTs, or Bladerunner and she's also confirmed Autistic.

The comic got released a few days ago. It's horrible 3D stills traced over by pen and ink for a comic about her. She basically blows up a Low-Class/Poor area and watches a little girls face get have blown up to force the poorer people to agree to let the cooperation she's working for help them.

A lot of the characters from the Recall seem to be very early concept art (back when Overwatch was known by another name) or generic fill-ins considering the characters were all in generic Overwatch soldier uniforms (whereas Mercy, McCree and Tracer all used official, finalized portraits).

Edgy guy with blue visor and several of the robots have appeared repeatedly, so they MAY appear.

War with the Omnics ended at least a decade before the events of the game. Overwatch officially ended six years before the game began, but Soldier: 76 mentions that Overwatch was around for years. His statue and portrait are based on him from back when he was pretty fucking young. Since both Reaper and Soldier were in the super soldier program, they're both probably close in age and sitting around their 40s or 50s.

As for what happened to them, Reyes/Reapers was butthurt because Morrison/Soldier had been named the official commander of Overwatch. Reyes lead Blackwatch, their covert unit, and McCree trained beneath him. There's even some flavor dialog where Reaper tries to brag about teaching McCree everything he knows. During the infighting they set off some massive weapon within their Swiss HQ, blowing it to shit and seemingly killing both Reyes and Soldier. Soldier reemerged after six years in order to seek vengeance against the people who had wrongly accused Overwatch of being a corrupt organization. Reyes became some sort of monster who's cells were in a constant state of degradation and regeneration who was murdering former Overwatch agents. Soldier looks the way he does because he got (literally) blown the fuck out.

Pharah seems to have had a pretty shitty relationship with her mother, so I'm assuming she was a teenager or older while her mother was in Overwatch. That image seems to have been taken right after the Omnic Crisis ended , so at oldest Pharah would have been like 22 at the time. It's not hard to imagine her mother was in her late 30s or something -- though yeah, Blizzard was definitely pushing it with making Pharah 32.

That kind of thing is exactly why D&D alignments don't work.
She doesn't kill when it's unecessary, believes in the greater good and is visibly upset with what happened, but if she was truly good she wouldn't stick with her company. Neutral doesn't really fit either.

It's Genji, and he was part of original Overwatch in the few years post-Omnic Crisis. Hanzo nearly killed him and thought he had. Overwatch picked him up, Mercy patched him up and they offered him a new body in exchange for help in dismantling his family's criminal empire. Once Overwatch had been disbanded he ran off because he hated what he had become and met Zenyatta who taught him to see the difference between his machine body and human soul.

Torbjorn and Mercy were on good terms because they were the closest thing to staunchly anti-violence/war people within Overwatch.

He liked to build weapons but didn't like the idea of hooking them up to AIs because it could go out of control. And it did. He joined Overwatch to counter his own inventions, then came back because a ton of his shit had been stolen and used to kill people and he felt responsible.

You're not supposed to play against him.

Reaper has no allegiance. He's just a mercenary who enjoys killing and is systematically killing former Overwatch agents for whatever reason. Though he came assisted by Talon, so they may have a shared interest.

Widowmaker is a Talon puppet, loyal through and through. She also tries to win Hanzo over by saying Talon could rebuild his family's empire.

What they really fucked up was that first debut trailer.
Pharah, Lucio, Zenyatta and Bastion are all in it during the introduction video despite all coming from after Overwatch disbanded.

Heck only like half the characters in the game are actually former Overwatch agents.

Most confusing is the presence of Tracer. She's supposed to have been a pilot who joined Overwatch and got looped in time. Unless she is permanently stuck at 26 years old, her having been a member/present for the post-Omnic Crisis celebration despite Overwatch having disbanded six years ago makes zero sense.
>>
>>337630835
I think that's it based on what we've seen. Ideally they'd do one for every character but they probably won't do ones for the heros who had comics

We don't really know what happened.

Both Reyes and Morrison don't have a single idea of what triggered that (Reyes was even under Mercy's knife at the time of the explosion, since Reaper hinted that she fucked up during the operation perhaps she's the cause of it) hence why they are both after who they think are the most likely betrayers to them, Overwatch agent for Reyes and the Gov for Morrison..

What? The only "hint" of Mercy being even remotely related to Reaper's condition is the fact is his exchange with her where she asks what happened to him and he notes that she would have a better idea than him. Though that seems more likely a case of "Well, she'd a medical professional and tons of Reaper's dialog alludes to the fact he doesn't know what he is or how he's alive."

Also we know what happened to Overwatch HQ thanks to character bios and https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/19809396/. Reyes led a rebellion and fought with morrison which triggered a giant explosion. It was officially ruled an accident but people knew it was due to their fighting. The UN even called upon Mercy and she testified that what destroyed overwatch was the lack of oversight over Reyes and Morrison's conflict, which spun out of control.
>>
>>337631260
Had to rewatch the original trailer, man going into Overwatch I thought their lore would be huge and well thought out, but it seems like an afterthought the more I look into it.
>>
Do they explain how Reaper gets his teleporting ghost mist powers
>>
>>337632536
You can buy the Origins edition on g2a for 46 dollars. The non-cosmetics attached edition is only 40 dollars.

I guess you didn't hesitate to pay 60 dollars for Battleborn thanks to the inclusion of a riveting story mode?
>>
>>337632971
Nothinh beyond his biography's line about his body basically regenerating and decaying simultaneously. I'm guessing its an aftereffect of whatever blew up Overwatch or his super soldier gene therapy - or both.

But BattleBorne isn't fun
>>
>>337632887
When Reaper gets resurrected by her ult he shit talks her saying that at least she got it right this time.
>>
>>337632971
Theory is that Mercy fucked up with her resurrection and he got stuck on the edge between life and death, or whatever.
>>
>>337631483
REALLY? If shes stuck in time then why the fuck is she here? Maybe when the game takes place we are in during one of her loops?
>>
>>337632887
And when a enemy Mercy Ress her team Reaper just says

"Are you serious?"

For me she tried to Ress him after the HQ fight and she fuck up pretty bad.
>>
>>337633386
Because Winston built a contraption to keep her tethered to the present but she can still manipulate her own timeline.

Ah, I see. So if she were to take off that device then she would go back to where ever the loop occured and repeat it right there.

That fucking sucks, especially if the loop is really fast or it continues to get faster and faster

What if it was like Ground Hog Day but the day slowly sped up faster and faster.

I was wondering what the fuck they were celebrating, so now I get it.
Essentially, Morrison, McCree and Reinhardt have been integrating Tracer, Winston and Genji into post-Omnic Crisis Overwatch and are holding a graduation party of sorts (note the similar outfits Tracer, Winston and Genji are wearing, orange, black and gray).
Morrison and Reyes, already both probably in their late 40s, thanks to the super-soldier program, essentially literal Captain America's, slowing their physical aging, or at least, making it so that their body starts physically deteriorating when they're closer to 60 when normal people start showing gray hair etc during their early to mid 40s.

I have no fucking clue what Pharah's mother is doing there. I mean sure, she was part of Overwatch but how the fuck is she that young looking? I guess she could be late 30s, gotten pregnant when she was a teen, then been busy with Overwatch for pretty much her adult life which would have had a negative effect on their relationship.

What has happened to Reyes (Reaper) is that his cells are constantly deteriorating and reviving themselves, making him literally Deadpool that turns into smoke. I think Mercy tried to save Reyes somehow but failed, then Talon got hold of Reyes's body somehow and brought him back, either brainwashing him or lying to Reyes about who killed him and why they did it. I mean, it's not like Reyes was on good terms with Overwatch since he was the de-facto leader of Blackwatch, which turned into Talon, or at least many of its former troops went to Talon for work (McCree comic, one of the Talon troops recognizes McCree and then talks about how he's looking forward to killing him.)

>>337628236
That literally looks like a Widowmaker skin - maybe she has multiple identities - I mean she is one of the top agents for Talon.
Compare to pic related. Look at the stance, the rifle.
>>
>>337633730
Talon existed before Over/Blackwatch but yes in the comic McCree also sees how they - Talon - are playing from Reyes book using the same tactics Blackwatch used.

The things of note:
>Two decades after Overwatch ended the Omnic Crisis and saved humanity[...]Overwatch's Swiss headquarters was destroyed in an apparent accident. Among the casualties were Morrison and Reyes
>That Morrison was buried here six years ago.

The article says that the robberies where 76 gets his weapons are a recent thing so the game can't really take place before any of that.

>D.va could've been a loli

Anyways, how does d.va even fit into Overwatch's radar?

If she's 19 now, theres no way in hell she was ever in it before.

Even if she were, her lore says she was a part of her nation's military, not the Overwatch private militia. And somehow I dont think being in both would go over too smoothly.

They can always just borrow ideas from dota.

The game doesn't have an illusion hero yet. Hell even blops 3 has a class that works with illusions

I have no idea, but it made me read her lore. Some Pacific Rim shit right there.

Like half the characters are not former Overwatch agents, if not more. They're just people of note, and I assume the driving force of the 'plot' as it were is Overwatch's legacy/reformation. Winston seems to want to reform Overwatch to counter Talon/rising concerns over people trying to disrupt peace between Omnics/Humanity.

Soldier 76 is on a hunt to figure out what drove Reyes to fuck up Overwatch. Reaper is out for revenge on Overwatch in general.

People like D.Va, Pharah, and Lucio are just notable peacekeepers/do-gooders for their respective countries. Symetra also kinda falls into that category but is also pretty easily manipulated and works for a shady as fuck company.
