Blizzard released a new cinematic for Overwatch at BlizzCon 2018. The “Animated Short” is titled Reunion and shows a part of McCree’s story on Route 66 and the new heroine Ashe.
The Deadlock Gang Heist: At the beginning, you see McCree sitting in the diner, which serves as the starting point for the attackers on the Route 66 map. While he eats his pie there, the train derails, the wreckage of which you see on the map.
New Heroine Ashe in the Cinematic
The cargo of the train is the cargo you accompany through the map, which piqued McCree and the Deadlock Gang’s interest. In a classic Western standoff, McCree ultimately deals with the gang, right on time at noon.
In the process, McCree encounters his supposed ex-girlfriend and the next hero of Overwatch, Ashe, whom he promptly apprehends and has transported, before freeing an old AI colleague from the cargo: Echo.
This cinematic thus introduces the next hero and provides a preview of a possible hero 30. We are curious to see what 2019 holds for Overwatch.
