Overwatch 2 Animated Shorts: A Cliffhanger Worth the Wait!

Overwatch 2 Sojourn

Overwatch 2 fans, get ready to be blown away! The latest animated short, “Calling,” featuring the badass Sojourn, is here to satisfy your craving for epic storytelling and character development. And let me tell you, it does not disappoint!

In the past, Overwatch’s animated shorts were self-contained stories that showcased the heroes in action or revealed their origin stories. But “Calling” takes things to a whole new level. It ends on a thrilling cliffhanger that will be continued in the in-game story missions of Overwatch 2. Talk about raising the stakes!

Sojourn’s animated short gives us a glimpse into what Vivian Chase has been up to since testifying against Overwatch. And let me tell you, her story is as charming as it is cool. By day, she enjoys retirement, making croissants and chilling with her adorable dog, Murphy. But when night falls, she transforms into a vigilante, donning an awesome biker getup and protecting the people of Canada from corrupt omnics and criminals. How badass is that?

But here’s where things get really exciting. Towards the end of the short, Sojourn’s city comes under attack by Omnics, with massive ships looming overhead due to Ramattra’s uprising. Sojourn gears up and prepares to battle the Omnics, leaving us on the edge of our seats. And the best part? We know that Toronto will be the setting for a PvE story mission in Overwatch 2, which means we’ll get to play out this epic showdown ourselves!

In the past, animated shorts were limited to standalone stories or had their teases resolved in external media like comics. But Overwatch 2 is breaking new ground by integrating story missions into the gameplay loop. This is a game-changer for the series’ narrative and a major win for fans who crave a deeper connection to the Overwatch universe.

And here’s a tantalizing thought: what if Blizzard releases an animated short to build hype for each batch of story content? Imagine getting a sneak peek into Pharah’s adventures before diving into the next set of story missions. This would not only provide character-focused shorts for those who still need them but also serve as a brilliant marketing strategy for Blizzard. It’s a win-win!

Now, I can’t guarantee that Blizzard will continue with the Sojourn formula, but a mix of origin stories and story-driven shorts like “Calling” would be the ultimate treat for fans. With this latest animated short, Blizzard has shown us that they can expand a character’s lore while setting up thrilling playable content. It’s a perfect blend of cinematic storytelling and immersive gameplay that keeps us hooked for more.

So grab your gaming gear and get ready to dive into the action-packed world of Overwatch 2! Whether you’re on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, or Xbox Series X, this game is waiting to take you on an unforgettable adventure.

And remember, heroes never die… they just respawn!

Overwatch 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
