# Overwatch (2016 TV series)
**Overwatch** is the television-series catalog entry, on TheTVDB and similar databases, for [Blizzard Entertainment](https://www.edgepedia.org/blizzard-entertainment)'s series of *Overwatch* animated shorts and promotional videos distributed on YouTube, rather than a scripted television drama. The entry's first aired item is dated November 7, 2014, the date of the game's cinematic trailer and Tracer origin story, and the catalog remained in continuing production into 2026.[1](https://thetvdb.com/series/overwatch) The name is sometimes applied to the 2016 run of animated shorts that accompanied the launch of the *Overwatch* video game on May 24, 2016.[2](https://investor.activision.com/node/21861) No standalone *Overwatch* television series has been produced; a Netflix adaptation reported in 2020 did not come to pass.[3](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/overwatch-2-director-would-love-to-do-a-tv-series/1100-6534268/)

## Spoilers
### Plot
The shorts are not a single running serial but a mosaic. Each one follows a different hero at a different moment, and together they sketch the entire history of the [Overwatch](https://www.edgepedia.org/overwatch) organization, from its glory days through its collapse to its rebirth. Blizzard tells the story entirely outside the game, so nothing a player does in a match ever contradicts it[15](https://blizzardwatch.com/2016/04/24/know-lore-overwatchs-ongoing-story/).
The backstory, delivered through the shorts and the official in-universe news site, goes like this. Decades before the series begins, the automation factories called omniums, built by Omnica Corporation, were shut down after fraud was uncovered. Then they reactivated themselves and turned on humanity for no stated reason. God programs, AI super-brains, took over the factories and equipped the omnics for war, beginning the Omnic Crisis[16](https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/20130523/overwatch-is-back-uncertainty-and-hope-after-un-confirms-vigilante-activity/) • [17](https://web.archive.org/web/20160613004105/http:/www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-05-20-everything-you-need-to-know-about-overwatchs-story). The United Nations covertly assembled six people, Morrison, Reyes, Amari, Liao, Wilhelm, and Lindholm, who destroyed the omnics' command protocols and ended the war. The world came to know them as the founders of Overwatch[16](https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/20130523/overwatch-is-back-uncertainty-and-hope-after-un-confirms-vigilante-activity/). Gabriel Reyes led first, but Jack Morrison's battlefield success let him take command, and the bitter Reyes took over Blackwatch, Overwatch's covert ops division[18](https://www.polygon.com/2016/5/24/11722688/overwatch-timeline/).
The rot set in through Blackwatch. Stories leaked of assassination, coercion, kidnapping, and torture. In one raid, Reyes personally executed the mobster Antonio Bartalotti, the team was forced to go loud, and Blackwatch's existence became public, splintering Overwatch's leadership[16](https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/20130523/overwatch-is-back-uncertainty-and-hope-after-un-confirms-vigilante-activity/) • [19](https://www.svg.com/161480/the-entire-overwatch-story-explained/). Then came the explosion. A massive blast wiped out Overwatch's Swiss headquarters, killing both Morrison and Reyes. The United Nations called it an accident, but the truth, revealed later, is that it was a battle between the two men[16](https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/20130523/overwatch-is-back-uncertainty-and-hope-after-un-confirms-vigilante-activity/). The UN passed the Petras Act, declaring any Overwatch-related activity illegal, and the organization disbanded[18](https://www.polygon.com/2016/5/24/11722688/overwatch-timeline/) • [19](https://www.svg.com/161480/the-entire-overwatch-story-explained/).
The present-day story opens in "Recall." Six years after the fall, with a second Omnic Crisis underway in Russia and more than 15,000 dead, Winston sits alone at the abandoned Watchpoint: [Gibraltar](https://www.edgepedia.org/gibraltar), longing for the days when heroes mattered. He is a gorilla scientist, genetically engineered, raised on the Horizon Lunar Colony by his human mentor Dr. Harold Winston[17](https://web.archive.org/web/20160613004105/http:/www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-05-20-everything-you-need-to-know-about-overwatchs-story) • [20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jKn_GbYe68). Talon, a terrorist organization, attacks the base to steal the Overwatch agent database from the AI Athena. Their operative is Reaper, a masked wraith who is very clearly the late Gabriel Reyes in a new form. Winston fights him off with a banana-peel gag and a gorilla's temper, stopping the extraction at 98 percent, then makes his choice: he illegally reconnects the network and issues the Recall, calling every old agent back to service. The first reply comes instantly, from Tracer[15](https://blizzardwatch.com/2016/04/24/know-lore-overwatchs-ongoing-story/) • [20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jKn_GbYe68). The short ends on his mentor's motto: "Never accept the world as it appears to be. Dare to see it for what it could be."[20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jKn_GbYe68)
"Alive," set only hours later, follows Tracer, the chipper time-jumping Brit, escorting a robot-techie through King's Row while the omnic monk leader Tekhartha Mondatta prepares to speak in London. In the middle of the speech, Talon's sniper Widowmaker puts a rifle to the rooftops. She is blue-skinned, cold, and once a different woman entirely. Tracer races to stop her, gets her clock knocked off her head, and can only watch as Widowmaker fires the shot. Mondatta dies, and the world's fragile peace with him[17](https://web.archive.org/web/20160613004105/http:/www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-05-20-everything-you-need-to-know-about-overwatchs-story) • [15](https://blizzardwatch.com/2016/04/24/know-lore-overwatchs-ongoing-story/).
The remaining shorts fan out across the cast. "Dragons," the fans' favorite, goes to Japan: the archer Hanzo returns to Hanamura to honor his brother, whom he believes he killed years earlier in a family dispute, and is ambushed by a mysterious blue spirit. The spirit reveals itself as Genji, the brother Hanzo thought dead, now rebuilt by Overwatch as a cyborg after their clan nearly destroyed him, and mentored by the omnic monk Zenyatta[17](https://web.archive.org/web/20160613004105/http:/www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-05-20-everything-you-need-to-know-about-overwatchs-story). "Hero" follows Ana Amari, Overwatch's greatest sniper, now presumed dead and hiding in an oasis town, who picks up her rifle one last time to save a hostage. "The Last Bastion" is a near-wordless short about a combat robot from the Omnic Crisis that reactivates in a forest, briefly rediscovers its killing programming, and marches on the human city of Zurich before its little bird friend and a glitch of remembered nature pull it back. "Infiltration" sends Reaper and Sombra to steal data from a corporate boss, ending with Sombra's blackmail reveal. "Rise and Shine" shows the ice-cryogenic survivor Mei waking from a doomed [Antarctic](https://www.edgepedia.org/antarctic) research station to a changed world. "Honor and Glory" gives Reinhardt his due, flashing back to the fall of a German town he failed to defend and pushing him back into the fight. "Shooting Star" is D.Va's, the pro-gamer turned mecha pilot defending Busan from a kaiju-style omnic attack. "Reunion" brings the train-robbing gang Deadlock back into Cole Cassidy's (formerly McCree's) life, and reintroduces the recovered Ashe.
The arc closes where the game itself begins. In the heist over Doomfist's gauntlet, Reaper and Widowmaker move to steal the artifact, and Tracer and Winston stop them, but the surveillance footage of the fight leaks. For the first time since the Petras Act, the world sees that the heroes are still out there, and that the world needs them more than ever[19](https://www.svg.com/161480/the-entire-overwatch-story-explained/).
**The museum battle is the series' signature set piece, and it actually predates the series itself: it is the Overwatch cinematic trailer, shown as part of the game's reveal at BlizzCon 2014.[21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNhcT_NivD8)** In the Overwatch Memorial Museum in New York, a schoolboy named Timmy drags his bored older brother Brian past exhibits of the old heroes, and the two are caught in the crossfire when Tracer and Winston arrive to stop Reaper and Widowmaker from stealing Doomfist's gauntlet. The sequence is staged as a tour of the whole premise: glass cases of retired weapons shatter into live fire, Tracer blinks between exhibits, Winston leaps from a balcony with his jump pack, and the fight ends with the brothers safe and a statue of the old team looming over the wreckage. Winston's closing line, "The world could always use more heroes," became the franchise's defining tagline, and the trailer's fanfare became the game's main theme[22](https://overwatch.weirdgloop.org/w/Cinematic_Trailer) • [23](https://scholarship.claremont.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2019&context=scripps_theses). Doomfist, name-dropped here, took three more years to actually appear as a playable hero[22](https://overwatch.weirdgloop.org/w/Cinematic_Trailer).
### Characters
**Winston** (voiced by [Crispin Freeman](https://www.edgepedia.org/crispin-freeman)) is a genetically engineered gorilla scientist, raised on the lunar colony by the human Dr. Harold Winston, whose glasses he still wears. He is the series' reluctant catalyst: the one who breaks the law to bring Overwatch back.
**Tracer** ([Cara Theobold](https://www.edgepedia.org/cara-theobold)) is Lena Oxton, a chipper British pilot who was lost in time by a teleporter accident and now blinks through the present. She is the first agent to answer the Recall and the face of the new team.
**Reaper** (Keith Ferguson) is the masked Talon enforcer hunting old Overwatch agents. He is Gabriel Reyes, Overwatch's passed-over first commander, presumed dead in the Swiss explosion and now something worse.
**Widowmaker** (Chloé Hollings) is Talon's sniper, Amélie Lacroix before Talon rewrote her, and the assassin of the omnic leader Mondatta.
**Hanzo and Genji** (Paul Nakauchi and Gaku Space) are the estranged Shimada brothers of the Japanese crime clan, whose reunion in "Dragons" is the series' emotional peak.
**Ana Amari** (Aysha Selim), Reinhardt Wilhelm (Darin De Paul), Mei (Elise Zhang), D.Va (Charlet Chung), Cole Cassidy ([Matthew Mercer](https://www.edgepedia.org/matthew-mercer)), Sombra (Carolina Ravassa), and the omnic Bastion round out the featured cast, each carrying one short of their own.
### Interpretations and controversies
The series' most debated point is the Swiss headquarters explosion. The UN's official in-universe story called it an accident; the later reveal that it was a fight between Morrison and Reyes, and that both survived in new forms, is the franchise's central mystery piece[16](https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/20130523/overwatch-is-back-uncertainty-and-hope-after-un-confirms-vigilante-activity/). Fans also long noted the gap between the shorts' rich story and the game itself, where, as Kotaku put it, you could play forever without knowing what any of it was about[24](https://web.archive.org/web/20180813074704/https:/kotaku.com/overwatch-the-kotaku-review-1779831636). Blizzard's 2021 renaming of McCree to Cole Cassidy, after a Blizzard employee named in a harassment lawsuit, retroactively touched the "Reunion" short.
### Sequels, spin-offs, and adaptations
The shorts are one strand of a transmedia web that includes digital comic series and in-universe news articles on the Overwatch site[16](https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/20130523/overwatch-is-back-uncertainty-and-hope-after-un-confirms-vigilante-activity/) • [15](https://blizzardwatch.com/2016/04/24/know-lore-overwatchs-ongoing-story/). The story continued in *Overwatch 2* (2022), which begins with the omnic extremist group Null Sector invading Paris and a new Overwatch team forming under Cassidy's leadership[19](https://www.svg.com/161480/the-entire-overwatch-story-explained/). The original game's servers were shut down on October 3, 2022, replaced the next day by the sequel[25](https://www.mobygames.com/game/79170/overwatch/).
## What the catalog covers
The database entry groups Blizzard's *Overwatch* video output into seasons. The specials collect standalone pieces released from November 2014 through October 2023. Season 1 gathers origin stories and hero trailers, the short character videos Blizzard used to introduce individual heroes. Season 2 covers the ten Overwatch Animated Shorts released between March 2016 and November 2018, and Season 3 covers nine Overwatch 2 Animated Shorts from November 2019 to February 2026.[1](https://thetvdb.com/series/overwatch) Blizzard's own media page lists 16 animated shorts in total, from "Recall" through "A Great Day".[5](https://overwatch.blizzard.com/media/videos)
The average runtime of about six minutes reflects the format: these are short films, not episodes of a continuing show. Blizzard described the series as a continuation of its tradition of "creating epic cinematic experiences", first shown at BlizzCon 2015, and paired the shorts with a series of free digital comics leading up to the game's launch.[6](https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/20063489/esplorare-il-mondo-di-overwatch-16-03-2016/)
## The 2016 animated shorts
**Launch-year output.** Six shorts were released in 2016, the game's launch year, each built around one or two heroes: "Recall" (Winston, 7:54), "Alive" (Widowmaker, 6:18), "Dragons" (Genji and Hanzo, 7:57), "Hero" (Soldier: 76, 6:42), "The Last Bastion" (Bastion, 7:22), and "Infiltration" (Sombra, 6:19).[4](https://liquipedia.net/overwatch/Animated_Shorts) The first four were created in-house by Blizzard's cinematics team and directed by Ben Dai, who handled "Recall" and "Dragons", and Jeremiah Johnson, who directed "Alive" and "Hero".[7](https://www.gameanim.com/2016/05/24/overwatch-shorts/)
**Recall.** The first short, "Recall", premiered exclusively on Xbox.com/Overwatch on March 21, 2016, with a 60-second teaser aired during that night's broadcast of *Better Call Saul* on AMC in the United States. It tells the story of Winston, a genetically engineered gorilla and scientist who decides whether to recall the agents of Overwatch while the forces of Talon attack his laboratory at the abandoned Watchpoint: Gibraltar.[8](https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-gb/news/20063490/) The shorts served as the game's principal storytelling vehicle: when *Overwatch* debuted in 2016, its backstory was explored through these animated pieces rather than in-game narrative.[3](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/overwatch-2-director-would-love-to-do-a-tv-series/1100-6534268/)
The shorts continued after launch at a slower pace, with later entries including "Rise and Shine" and "Honor and Glory" in 2017, "Shooting Star" and "Reunion" in 2018, and "Zero Hour" in 2019.[9](https://abubakrelmallah.com/worlds/overwatch/) Game director Aaron Keller later acknowledged that [Overwatch 2](https://www.edgepedia.org/overwatch-2) has received only a couple of shorts in recent years, compared with the more frequent releases of the original game's era.[10](https://www.gamesradar.com/games/fps/overwatch-2-director-says-the-fps-dropped-the-ball-when-it-comes-to-story-but-wants-those-sick-animated-shorts-to-make-a-comeback-and-would-love-a-tv-show/)
## The unmade television series
**The 2020 Netflix reports.** During 2020, word surfaced that an animated Overwatch show was being developed, and a Diablo anime was reportedly also in production at Netflix. Neither show ultimately came to pass, and [Activision](https://www.edgepedia.org/activision) sued Netflix for allegedly poaching one of its executives.[3](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/overwatch-2-director-would-love-to-do-a-tv-series/1100-6534268/) GamesRadar's account states that adaptations of Diablo, StarCraft, and Overwatch were in development at Netflix before the relationship between the companies dissolved.[10](https://www.gamesradar.com/games/fps/overwatch-2-director-says-the-fps-dropped-the-ball-when-it-comes-to-story-but-wants-those-sick-animated-shorts-to-make-a-comeback-and-would-love-a-tv-show/)
**Executive statements.** In a 2025 interview with GameSpot, game director Aaron Keller was asked about a large-scale Overwatch story along the lines of Netflix's *Castlevania* and *Arcane* adaptations. He answered, "The team would love to have something like that come out... To have something like that for Overwatch would be really, really cool. But I can't really discuss the plans for future stuff like that."[3](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/overwatch-2-director-would-love-to-do-a-tv-series/1100-6534268/) In a 2026 interview with IGN, Overwatch general manager Walter Kong said he would not rule out an animated series, noting that comments requesting one appear on every hero trailer and event piece, and that "it is not a huge stretch to believe that there would be a lot of demand for that type of content."[11](https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/overwatchs-general-manager-has-ignited-player-hopes-for-an-animated-series-after-revealing-that-he-would-not-rule-out-other-narrative-experiences-in-the-future/)
**Blizzard's broader adaptation plans.** At BlizzCon 2026, Blizzard president Johanna Faries announced that a Diablo animated series is in production with Netflix, and noted "great discussions being had" regarding adaptations of Overwatch and [Warcraft](https://www.edgepedia.org/warcraft). The announcement included no trailer or release window for any Overwatch project.[12](https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/blizzard-announces-animated-diablo-show-coming-to-netflix/) Faries had earlier told Variety that Blizzard wants to "show up on every screen imaginable" and that near-term discussions were underway to adapt almost every one of its worlds.[13](https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/movies/blizzard-boss-says-were-not-blizzard-games-were-blizzard-entertainment-and-near-term-discussions-are-underway-to-adapt-almost-every-one-of-our-worlds/)
## Context: the game the shorts promote
The video series exists to support *Overwatch*, Blizzard Entertainment's team-based first-person shooter, which launched globally on Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and [Xbox One](https://www.edgepedia.org/xbox-one) on May 24, 2016, after an open beta that drew more than 9.7 million players, Blizzard's biggest to that point.[2](https://investor.activision.com/node/21861) The game takes place on an Earth of the near future, where squads made up of soldiers, scientists, adventurers, and oddities fight one another for command of important locations across the globe.[2](https://investor.activision.com/node/21861) Blizzard's first new intellectual property in over seventeen years, it grew out of the canceled MMO codenamed [Titan](https://www.edgepedia.org/titan-blizzard-entertainment-project).[14](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/from-the-death-of-titan-to-the-birth-of-overwatch/1100-6439150/) The shorts and origin trailers carry the franchise's story because the game itself is a player-versus-player shooter without a campaign; a planned Overwatch 2 PvE story campaign did not work out and was canceled, which Keller described as a reset moment for the team's story plans.[10](https://www.gamesradar.com/games/fps/overwatch-2-director-says-the-fps-dropped-the-ball-when-it-comes-to-story-but-wants-those-sick-animated-shorts-to-make-a-comeback-and-would-love-a-tv-show/)
