Intro / Lore

Overwatch is a 6v6 team based shooter and was released on May 24, 2016.

Overwatch starts in a version of future Earth. A time where humans and Omnics (robots) existed together. However, the peace did not last; the omniums producing the omnics went rogue and began constructing militarized robots and staged an uprising. In dire attempt to fight back, the United Nations founded the most elite soldiers from around the world and formed the peacekeeping force known as Overwatch.

Simply put, their job was to save earth from the rogue omnics, which they did quite successfully. Over the next 30 years, Overwatch grew to be a vast coalition of the world's top soldiers and scientists. Though it was revered across the planet, as time went on accusations of human rights abuses and internal conspiracy tore the organization apart.

But... with terrorism rampant, inequality commonplace, and corrupt companies unchecked, one thing is clear: THE WORLD NEEDS HEROES.
