Overwatch (Animated series)

Overwatch is a new animated series based on the new  upcoming multiplayer first-person shooter in development by Blizzard Entertainment.

Plot[edit]
Overwatch is set in the near-future Earth, years after the resolution of the global-scale "Omnic Crisis". This crisis put humanity under threat of the "Omnic" artificial intelligence.[10][11] This led to the uprising of robots all around the world and a massive conflict on the global scale.[11][12] To end this conflict, an international task force called "Overwatch" was formed by the United Nations to protect humanity, ending the Crisis.[12][13] In the years after, Overwatch remained as a peacekeeping force, but after multiple incidents of criminal activity popped up around the globe,[13] accusations of corruption and sedition[14] began to surface. The people turned against those who had saved them. Once regarded as heroes, members of Overwatch were then looked down upon with suspicion.[12][13] Then one day, the headquarters of Overwatch were suddenly destroyed – apparently by accident. Officially, the attack took the life of Overwatch leader Jack Morrison and second-in-command Gabriel Reyes.[12][13] After this event, the task force was eventually disbanded.[15] It is believed by some that the cause of the downfall of Overwatch was due actually to an elaborate conspiracy by those who wanted to see the end of the organization, although nothing has been confirmed officially by the UN.
