A new comic from Overwatch reveals how Bastion and Torbjörn have found each other – on the best of terms.
The developers of Overwatch regularly release small story tidbits to shed more light on the heroes’ backgrounds. Although both Bastion and Torbjörn have already revealed a significant part of their stories – in a comic and a cinematic – the latest work showcases the two together.
In Sweden, after a long period of peace, a mysterious Bastion unit appears, instilling fear and terror among the population. According to assumptions from politicians and the press, it is only “a matter of time” before the first fatalities occur. A (small) man volunteers to put an end to the threat of the Bastion unit – Torbjörn. He embarks on a hunt for the rampaging Omnic, as in his past he was significantly responsible for the creation of these killer robots.
How the story ends and how Torbjörn and Bastion resolve – or intensify – their conflict can be found out in the official comic “Binary World” on the Blizzard website: Link to the comic in German
Anyone who wants to experience the story in “full splendor” should check out the comic on madefire, where it is accompanied by sound effects and animations that make any fan’s heart race.

Cortyn says: A nice story that unfortunately does not reveal much more information than we already knew about the characters. However, I am curious about why Bastion even ventured to Sweden – was he just looking to meet “his creator”? Or was it coincidence? Unfortunately, the comic provides no answers to many questions.
