It’s been eight years since the release of hero shooter Overwatch, which has earned both the praise and the Game of the Year honors it received, and the acclaim it received from many due to its unfriendly balancing. But then, Overwatch endured, and now Overwatch 2. Those who’ve followed the franchise know that Overwatch is told mostly through characters, shorts, and docuseries that teach us what Overwatch is, where it came from, and how it fell. What we do know about Overwatch is that it has two main villains: Talon and the Null Sector. However, a new story reveal reveals that there’s a sinister organization behind it all called the Eye, who was introduced in the Heroes Ascendant Overwatch 2 anthology episode Lucky Man.
Before we get into the content, let's briefly review the story of Overwatch for those who don't know or may just be following the game. What is Overwatch? We will summarize it briefly and concisely for easy understanding. Overwatch is an organization that brings together people with special abilities from around the world. They come together to fight in the Omnium rebellion war led by Ramattra called the Omnic Crisis until Overwatch was able to win the war. When the war ended, the Overwatch unit that used to be a hero began to lose its importance. Plus, the establishment of the Blackwatch group that did behind-the-scenes things that Overwatch couldn't do, until the dark information of Overwatch and Blackwatch was leaked, causing the public to no longer want Overwatch.
And the last straw for the people came when the headquarters in Switzerland was exploded, killing Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison, better known as Reaper and Soldier 76, with Talon behind this terrorist act. The information leaked in the media said that Gabriel defected and betrayed Overwatch, causing various countries to disband the Overwatch unit until the team broke up and everyone was scattered. Years later, the terrorist group Talon invaded Winston's base, causing Winston to press the button to rally Overwatch to re-establish the Overwatch unit, with Tracer being the first to respond, and this is the beginning of the story in the first Overwatch.
After a long rant, let's get to the point. The short story, Heroes Ascendant Overwatch 2 anthology, Lucky Man, will be the story of Soldier 76 and Sombra who infiltrated a UN facility in Zurich while the city was being attacked by the Null Sector. Their goal is to steal a disk from the ruins of the headquarters there. Soldier 76 and Sombra, who are interested in this, followed the investigation and accidentally met each other. They both learned that there is a mysterious organization with a symbol, an eye, behind the destruction of Overwatch. This eye symbol had previously appeared in Sombra's Origin Story, but at that time the story didn't tell us anything. It only said that Sombra was searching for this organization in order to seize the information for himself. Until now, the story is revealed.
At this point, we have to wait more than 8 years to know everything that happened (if the game had flopped first, we would have never known for sure). And if anyone notices the dialogue in Overwatch 2 of the various characters, especially the Overwatch and Talon characters, we will see that they talk to each other normally, not talking to each other as enemies, as if the Talon and Overwatch might join hands to fight in this new war. We will have to wait and see what role this Eye Organization will play in Overwatch 2. If there is any progress, we will rush to report it.
