It's mind boggling that a game with such a great cast of characters and interesting lore neither has single player content nor some kind of TV show. PLEASE, Blizzard. Get your shit together.
I like how orisa was teased in reinhardt's cinematic ,and you can see some sort of sigma and junkey queen prototypes in the photo when the kid punched widowmaker
I remember hearing about Junker Queen since the game's release. A lot of newer characters have been teased in the lore for years before finally being added to the game.
This is so nostalgic, but watching these again shows me how little of the whole story we actually have pieced together, I hope they finish making that campaign mode soon. EDIT: Bro why are y'all still commenting on this like I wouldn't have known by now?
Watching these all again reminds me why I love overwatch so much. Amazing characters amazing stories. Overwatch brings me so much joy. It has since 2016.
For someone that started playing OW2 for almost an month now, but not knowing anything about any character until now, this feels like an movie and i completely love it!
You just had to be there at Overwatch 1’s prime. It was beautiful. And these shorts would move you. These characters had a soul and you cared about who they were and what their story was. Overwatch 2 could’ve been great.
That Hanzo and Genji shirt was 87% of the reason I bought this game. So well done, so compelling, I couldn’t possibly not buy the game after watching it. Had me screaming the voicelines ingame n shi
1:36:07 this scene forward is majestic and gave me legit goosebumps if your graphics are on max and you watch this for the first time it’s just beautiful.
Honestly if they made an entire movie out of the characters I would watch that for sure Edit: you thought I was gonna say omg mom I’m famous, well you thought wrong
Gosh, I loved the original Overwatch so much. I remember being so hyped whenever a new one of these dropped, watching them over and over again until I knew every beat. How far we've come.
I'ts honestly crazy how the animated shorts only present a tiny percent of the lore. Like how pharah is not mentioned at all, the story of orisa is not told, from the shorts you cant tell much about talon and blackwatch. The shorts create a small portion of what we know, and even so, this portion takes an hour and 45 minutes to tell....game lore be like 💀
Man I genuinely could not care less for the multiple player but I am truly looking forward to the PVE as long as I, as Genji, get to fight giant robots like the one in france
Im would genuinely love a whole overwatch movies with this animation style because the animations actually look so good and if they done a movie for the story before overwatch broke up it could actually be really good
@@DessuniLY its okay for a blizzard cinematic but it was a bit cringe at the ending parts and not really on par with ones like the rein and bastion one.
@@perezthereza33 tbf it’s really hard to top either of those. Personally I enjoy the cringe, it fits her character and the short was supposed to be over the top.
Thank you for this. I’m a “noob” to overwatch but played a little of the original with no idea of anyones background. This brings some hype for the pve no lie
Did anyone notice in the recall animated short when the agents names and portraits are popping up u can see sojourn in it but she didn't release till overwatch 2 like woah 22:06
Bastion cinematic be like: Once upon a time there was a war robot that became friendly of some sort. Little that he knew that he would become OW1 worst nightmare…
Kinda embarrassed to admit im a grown ass man and like half of these Overwatch cinematics get me tearing eyed more than any legit movie ive seen since like Iron Mans death in End Game lol
that first ow2 cinematic makes me think they had big ideas for the game like certain abilitys working together... might see it in a future update but I feel like it would be too hard to balence
Bro watching reaper be in every talon mission and failing kinda makes me feel bad for him. Like he’s probably so good at his job but he fails every time
I enjoy all the OW cinematics, but Bastion’s is truly inspired. Possibly the best cinematic Blizz has made. It competes with the WOTLK cinematic with regard to theming and characterization.
Man I miss 2cp maps, even though they were really unbalanced I have some good memories on them. You’ll forever be remembered anubis, hanamura, volskaya, horizon.. not paris tho everyone hated this map
After playing some ow2 and not knowing anything about any characters until this it def feels like a movie and i love it
Same here
fr after seeing bastion had like ptsd almost started crying

From bastion’s short, I now know in order to end all wars, every soldier needs a cute birb
Ganymede is his emotional support animal lol
@@helixsol7171 I didn’t even think about that! That makes so much more sense!!!

It's mind boggling that a game with such a great cast of characters and interesting lore neither has single player content nor some kind of TV show. PLEASE, Blizzard. Get your shit together.
Don't worry the pve campaign comes out next year
Knowing the way blizzard is going now it would be really cheaply made to get as much profit as possible
I think I heard somewhere that this was meant to be a movie but they didn’t have enough money so they decided to make it a game
Don’t worry Blizzard is about to be annexed to Xbox in a couple years
Activision controls it now. Don't get your hopes up.
I love bastion’s cinematic so much, he’s so peaceful and I love him. Bastion is amazing…
To be clear, he really knows how to piss me off in game thouh
no wonder why i get called a hoe for playing him lol.
I like how orisa was teased in reinhardt's cinematic ,and you can see some sort of sigma and junkey queen prototypes in the photo when the kid punched widowmaker
Same!
Sojourn is in the “Recall” one, too!!

Moira will be the biggest charecter in it definitely
CAMPAIGN MODE? SINCE WHEN
@@biglighte6825 it was announced 3 years ago I heard they'll add it early next year

I hope the kid who punches Widow will become a hero. That'd be great.

He’s doom fist

Yeah me too
not any more man
That first overwatch 2 cinematic is sooo good I watch it 2-3 times. It’s just amazing
Just noticed Sojourn's artwork during Winston's recall, nice touch
echo was there as well
It'd be insane to see an overwatch series like arcane. A valorant one would be cool too
@One-track Mind audibly laughed. Factual
They actually are gonna do a Valorant one
i’m begging for an overwatch series
@One-track Mind 100%
@@ondakojees thats going to be so shit! :)
dude Blizzard and Riot both got some god tier animators
blizzard's animation seems much better but both are great
literally cried when bastion destroyed the nest
Poor guy has PTSD from the war
Yeauh Ik what it is like I have grandpa in ww2 he hated fireworks and he’d cried the nest is a beautiful example but sad
For someone that started playing OW2 for almost an month now, but not knowing anything about any character until now, this feels like an movie and i completely love it!
I miss seeing Winston every time I opened the game
You just had to be there at Overwatch 1’s prime. It was beautiful. And these shorts would move you. These characters had a soul and you cared about who they were and what their story was. Overwatch 2 could’ve been great.
Yeah, real shame :(
Reinhardts cinematic is by far the best and most emotional in my opinion it gets me every time

Watching this a day before the end of Overwatch Origins

If they had a short for every single character it'd be so cool honestly after watching this it makes me want to play even more
TBF pharah is kinda lame. I say that as a pharah main. He voice lines are so dull, he whole personality is "basketball" and "justice"
@@Rumplenutskn I mean how ana and pharah are related. A short about pharah childhood or something would be cool
The genji ult before tracer got hit was cold🥶🥶
Can’t believe Gregory got to punch widowmaker like that
No matter what happens Dragons will always be the best, The cinematography the voice acting the animations Its all so insanely perfect
The moment snowball died was so touching and beautiful and sad
Man I genuinely could not care less for the multiple player but I am truly looking forward to the PVE as long as I, as Genji, get to fight giant robots like the one in france
Yes im a fellow genji main

I love this. Thank you for putting this together.
Great vid man! This definitely gives a new OW2 player like myself, some well needed info and bg on the characters.
that genji slice that protected tracer was so clean
having played OW2 it's only right I get on track with its lore, this got me 80% back on track
I’m new to overwatch so this was a very great video to watch.getting invested in the lore now
Thanks
OW has the best animated shorts ever
That goes to league of legends
@@manishdash1543 agreed but overwatch does longer ones while still having great quality, but yea in terms of quality nothing can reach lol
Thank you for everything papa Jeff, we'll never forget you
o7
I must admit, I cried a little at the first one
As someone who never played overwatch 1 and recently started with two it's cool to see all of there backgrounds and stuff
I love how the end of soldier 76’s cinematic 13:00 is so heartwarming and then we see Winston’s goofy ass face.
Winton
1:06:29 "say hi to the monkey for me" 🤠
20:42 "ill be sure to send them your regards, monkey" 💀
all so relatable
IM KIDDING PLEASE
I heard they're getting 2 cinematics for Kiriko and Sojourn should be added next week or days ahead.
I’m excited to see what they come up with!
rate the new kiriko cinematic

Im dying i just remembered the hype around genji getting pants lmao
Why is no one talking about how heartbreaking it was when snow ball sacrificed himself
“I’ll be sure to send them your regards… monkey”
Hey Reaper calm down he’s not just a monkey 😂
Reaper truly is a gamer
Poor bastion he had PTSD 🥲
Hanzo: what have you become?
Genji: ive accepted the rgb led strips
I’m legit sobbing rewatching this
Same here
putting this on the record, the guy who used the doomfist glove to gank widowmaker will 100% be a champ prediction and a half that'll come true
Did anyone notice in the recall animated short when the agents names and portraits are popping up u can see sojourn in it but she didn't release till overwatch 2 like woah 22:06
Many of those characters had concepts designed/scrapped. Some were used to make other characters, some their ideas are open for the future
@@JebusChrust ah I see
For how much effort they put in these animations I always wondered why they just don't add a campaign
The litlle girl in second cinematic has more agility than 95% of overwatch's characters, only genji hanzo or kiriko could climb that wall
Anybody else hoping that kid from the museum actually becomes a hero too?
Which one? The little one or the one in the hoodie
@@brave_skykorn The one with the hoodie. He used the doomfist and was brave to fight back against grown adults.
Bastion cinematic be like:
Once upon a time there was a war robot that became friendly of some sort. Little that he knew that he would become OW1 worst nightmare…
I never realized how much PTSD all of Overwatch has 😭😭
Thanks mate for putting this together!!
14 hours until overwatch 2 launches. I love seeing all the people also watching this lol
It's actually launching in just under an hour!
Aaaahahahahahh I knoooow!!! I'm so excited 😫
@@KaraKaotic i fully intend on being a kiriko one trick LOL
How yall feeling now?
Kinda embarrassed to admit im a grown ass man and like half of these Overwatch cinematics get me tearing eyed more than any legit movie ive seen since like Iron Mans death in End Game lol
i swear the rein one makes me cry more then any movie
16:15 i love it that winston is looking at the news and in the same time watching a hearthstone game😂
Bastion and Ganymede's relationship is so cute
Wow these are actually really good and emotional
Hot topic, blizzard should give up on overwatch and make it just an animated series
22:05 if you go through at the slowest playback speed, sojourn can be seen on the list of overwatch agents for a split second
Nice catch I wonder when that short released
40:55 tracer coming for a rematch knowing that widowmaker is way out of her league is comical
Did a great job editing this all together man. Chef's kiss.
this shit made me tear up like crazy
that first ow2 cinematic makes me think they had big ideas for the game like certain abilitys working together... might see it in a future update but I feel like it would be too hard to balence
@@C30-g4z You say that until you Electronic devices start to Attack you
@@C30-g4z sadly things in pve get nerfed by devs in PvE
Stuff that's really broken and makes the game to easy.
watching these fight scenes is like watching a nerf war
I don't usual mess with this sort of stuff..... But there is something about this wow...... We need a move!!!
When it started with a bird and is still going with a whole team
The fact that they just have doomfists actual fucking gauntlet in a museum UNPROTECTED, NO SECURITY.
Bro watching reaper be in every talon mission and failing kinda makes me feel bad for him. Like he’s probably so good at his job but he fails every time
Plot armour for the heroes mostly
I like how the Hanzo and genji part hanzo uses an ability which is no longer available
We need a full length movie/series and qw need it now
i still believe that the little girl in Soldiers Cinematic is Sombra
Ong
Me too
No wonder everybody wants to play genji, he’s a badass
If theres a badass shot Genji gets it
When bastion was look at his gun and then looked at the bird I thought he was just gonna:
*WHY DONT YOU SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND*
These shorts show that a focus on multiplayer gaming doesn't result in a better product. Single player outlasts everything.
during the flashes at 22:11 there's a profile of sojurn
I gotta stop watching this at school, I’m getting teary eyed in class
I enjoy all the OW cinematics, but Bastion’s is truly inspired. Possibly the best cinematic Blizz has made. It competes with the WOTLK cinematic with regard to theming and characterization.
i remember watching something like this in 2018 before i started playing ow1, now i’m watching this before i play 2
y'all notice how 'recall' is from 6 years ago, and it has soujorn in one of the frames? 22:11
Bro I don’t know when these were made but fuck the animation is too good for mini game stories
Man I miss 2cp maps, even though they were really unbalanced I have some good memories on them.
You’ll forever be remembered anubis, hanamura, volskaya, horizon.. not paris tho everyone hated this map
I can not belive that this timeline streches over 10 years like damn
Overwatch needs a movie man
Never played overwatch. Started watching this and instantly downloaded it
I just realized that the person who tells the story about the dragons is the voice actor for Shang Tsung in MK11
Bro imagine an overwatch movie that would be insane
For a character that doesn’t speak bastion shows so much emotion
“The world could always use more heroes” such a dope line from tracer
BEST MOVIE EVER
Junker queen got one for all
imagine cancelling PVE
that; Not anymore,. just hits diffrent
“Say hi to the monkey for me”
“Monkey?”
Sojourn
I went straight up went to play Overwatch after watching this
I remember watching all of these in 2017 for the first time
this is so wholesome ❤
