Overwatch’s Final Short Is Hero

Overwatch’s Final Short Is Hero

Do you need a hero? Because I need a hero. Some Overwatch heroics, to be exact. Blizzard is going out with a bang with its final animated short for its MOBA-style shooter. Which is appropriate, because “Hero” focuses on Soldier: 76, the balanced, well-rounded character that’s supposed to welcome in people familiar with Call of Duty and other shooters.

Like all of the other Overwatch shorts, “Hero” is a well-crafted and interesting segment offering insight into one of the game’s oldest heroes. Spare six minutes to take a look.

This Overwatch segment does a great job of showing what the world is like when the game begins. We see that the time of heroes seems to be over, but just when someone needs him most, Soldier: 76 steps up to pick up where he left off. He comes in to help a young woman and take back the streets, giving people something to believe in.

We’ll see if Overwatch gives us a shooter to believe in this week, as it’ll be out on May 24 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
