Possible Animated Short

I’m rewatching some of the Blizzcon clips from yesterday and I’m gonna be posting about it cause I’m super hyped! So, these pictures give us an idea of maybe a cutscene but I feel like it would be an animated short. I think that in it Reinhardt and Brigitte will go to Gothenburg, Sweden, where Torbjorn works. When they get there Torbjorn lets Reinhardt look around since he has not been there in a while or he has never been there. While Reinhardt looks around, Brigitte and Torbjorn catch up.

While looking around, Reinhardt finds Bastion and charges at him, confused why Torbjorn would have a Bastion unit in his warehouse/work shop(I’m not exactly sure what you would call it). When Brigitte and Torbjorn hear a commotion they go check it out. Torbjorn yells at Reinhardt to not attack Bastion and then explains to Reinhardt that he saved Bastion. I’m assuming he would only be explaining this to Reinhardt since I’m pretty sure than Brigitte knows about Bastion based off some voice interactions I believe they have in game. Once Torbjorn is done explaining Reinhardt apologizes to Bastion, maybe.

Eventually they get an alert that there is an attack somewhere. Then they get a call from overwatch, probably Winston or Tracer, and they decide to go help. I’m not sure if Torbjorn goes, he has a engineering business to run, but based off of the last photo, Rein and Brig take Bastion with them. Which will be interesting because it seems that Zarya is joining overwatch also, based off the last photo and a couple others. I’m gonna make a different post on that since this is getting long, but I think having Bastion on the team will create tension for Rein, Brig, and Zarya.

So, TLDR, Rein and Brig visit Torb, Rein meets Bastion, there is an attack, Rein and Brig bring Bastion to help them on the mission, I’ll post about Zarya joining overwatch another time.

Overwatch 2 Maps: New York City

When NYC was announced to be a map in OW2 I was SUPER excited. I, myself, was not born in New York, but most of my family, on both of my parent’s sides, is from different places in New York state. We don’t know to much about NYC when talking about the lore of Overwatch, but I have some theories.

Theory 1: NYC has a something similar to London’s Underworld. The Underworld is a city found beneath London where most of London’s Omnic population lives. Having a place like this in NYC would be a good way to add more Omnic character’s into the game, either as playable characters or NPCs. 

Theory 2: Overwatch has a base in NYC. While going over all of the images the OW Devs. showed us during the Behind the Scenes of OW2, I found concept art for a tower in Manhattan. It gives me Stark Tower/Avengers Tower vibes, so I feel like having this be an old Overwatch base would be really cool. 

Theory 3: NYC is where a new character is going to be from. I feel like this is more of me getting my hopes up, I just REALLY want a character from New York that is like a Tony Stark type. I think having a character that kind of fits into the Tony Stark architype would make it easy for the OW Devs. to make another cool Tank character, or maybe a support with really advanced cool armor. 

Anyways, after I make a post about McCree actually joining the Recalled Overwatch, I’m going to make a post about Gothenburg, Sweden, the map where Torbjorn’s workshop will be and the extension to Kings Row and what other maps might get extensions. 

TLDR: NYC might have been added to have to: have another map with an Underworld for Omnics which might mean we get more Omnic characters, there might be an old Overwatch base in NYC (image above), or a new character might be from NYC, hopefully someone that gives Tony Stark vibes, and hopefully a tank. 

Overwatch 2 Maps: Gothenburg, Sweden

Gothenburg, Sweden is the home to Torbjorn and Brigitte Lindholm. It was first announced at Blizzcon 2019, then we were shown more of it in Blizzconline. In 2019, we were told that it was going to be an Assault map / 2CP map, but after Blizzconline, we can’t be so sure. In Blizzconline, Jeff Kaplan mentioned that 2CP will probably not be in Overwatch 2. Since Gothenburg was going to be 2CP, it might be 2CP or it might not, so I’m going to talk about what I think the map will be. 

I think it will be Hybrid and I got evidence to prove my case. 

So, I think that this is will be Point A. It is a flat rectangular area that is similarly shaped to other first points on Hybrid maps, it may be a little too long, but it looks about right in my opinion. There is a garage door in the back middle of the room that players could go through to get to the payload which I think may be the yellow truck in the next photo.  

In this last photo, you can see the roads that have the train track on them. I would assume that that is what the payload moves on. If you look you can see that the track splits off into two ways, so I think that Gothenburg will have a similar mechanic that the New Kings Row will have where the payload can go two different directions. 

Anyways, after I make my post about Kings Row Extensions and other existing maps that might get extensions, I’m going to talk about Sojourn and her relationships with the old guard of Overwatch.

TLDR: I think that Gothenburg will be a Hybrid map where first point starts inside of Torbjorn’s workshop, then moves you outside in the streets of Gothenburg.  

Overwatch Events: 2021 Archives Event

ALRIGHT! So, the Overwatch twitter announced the 2021 Archives Event dates. It is going to start on Tuesday April 6th and it will finish on Tuesday April 27th. I’m super excited! Once it starts I will go over all of the items that the event gives us. Also, if we get any teasers tomorrow, which I think we will, then I’ll go over those teasers. Finally, before the Overwatch League starts, I am going to post a tier list I made for the OWL teams. Anyways, I hope you all are having a good weekend and I hope you all are ready for the 2021 Overwatch Archives Event! ~ Nova

Overwatch 2 Theories: Possible Old Guard Team

While thinking about theories I could make, I chose to rewatch the origin stories and cinematics. In the Recall cinematic, I zeroed down on something new. After his fight with Reaper, Winston chooses to recall Overwatch, and we get to see a bunch of old guard Overwatch profiles (actually, I was inspired by one of the profiles to write my Blackwatch tank post). So, I am going to talk about some of the other profiles you can see in the Recall cinematic.

TLDR: In the profiles from the Recall cinematic, there are four images that make me think the people in them were part of a strike team. They all have similar black and blue outfits. We only know one of the characters, the woman, Kimiko. Also, one of the characters, the man with the Overwatch beret, was probably the strike team leader. They probably have 2 DPS, 1 tank, and 1 support.

Based on the Image: Like the Uprising Strike team, these people look like a four-member Strike team, 3 men and 1 woman, because their outfits look similar. They all have blue shoulder pads with a black or silver armor piece around their neck. We only know the name of one of the characters, the woman. Her name is Kimiko and she took part in the rescue operation that ended up with Ana losing her eye.

Speculation: Since we know that Kimiko worked under Jack Morrison and Ana Amari before Ana lost her eye, I would assume that Kimiko was put into this strike team after the Ana Legacy comic mission. In the image, we can see that the man on the left has a beret with the Overwatch logo on it which makes me think that he was the strike team commander/strike team captain. They might have gone on missions specifically against Null Sector, or maybe Talon, similarly to the Uprising strike team. I haven't been able to find any information on any of the other characters, but I am going to guess what their role would be. From left to right: DPS, DPS, Tank, Support.

Anyways, I will be working on another possible character post soon, but I am going to be making a correction to one of my other posts first. While researching for this post, I learned some new information about a photo I used before. The correction will be out, probably, tomorrow.

Overwatch Event: 2021 Anniversary

Alright! On Twitter, Overwatch announced the 2021 Anniversary Event is going to be starting on Tuesday, May 18th, then ending on Tuesday, June 8th. I am REALLY excited! In the trailer on Twitter, you can see that Baptiste has a new skin, Tracer has a new emote, and Brigitte has a new emote. I love the new Baptiste skin and, surprisingly, Twitter seems to also like it. I'm not totally sure what the Baptiste skin is about, but it gives me disco vibes. Now all that we need is a Symmetra skin; she hasn't gotten a legendary skin in two years.

Here's the link to the Twitter announcement if you want to check it out, and while we learn more about the new skins I will make posts about them.

Finally, if you haven't checked out my new side blog, I would appreciate it if you did so, I will be posting about books and some TV shows. My first post, which I am working on currently, will be about my favorite book series.

Game Developer Update

I just finished watching Aaron Keller's(and his team's) first developer update. This is just about the most important points from the two-hour event.

PvP(Quickplay, some Arcade, Competitive) will be 5v5. It will be 1 Tank, 2 DPS, 2 Support. I am not happy about it, being a D.Va main. It will kill the Offtank role in competitive and a lot of Offtank players in OWL will lose their jobs.

We got some more looks at the new maps which were really cool. We saw New York City(Hybrid), Rio de Janeiro(Hybrid), Monte Carlo(Escort), Rome(Push), and Toronto(Push).

In New York City, there are a couple references to Jeff Kaplan which I think is really sweet.

We got to see Torbjorn's new Overwatch 2 look.

Also, we got to see a bunch of concept art for all of the new maps. All of the art is by Patrick Faulwetter.

So... About the showcase...

I'm not gonna lie, I hoped more. Okay, okay. Aaron literally said "to reduce our expectations", but damn...

I'm also kinda disappointed w/ 5x5, and, goddamn... I TRULLY WAITED NEW DESIGNS FOR THE REST OF THE CHARACTERS WITH ALL MY HEART, BUT NO! NOTHING! They showed Torbjörn's new look! Only one new look!

And before you complain with me, I'll say: No need to. As Aaron said, everything is on WIP. But... Wow... I waited so freaking hyped for the live, and after it ends I was kinda...

Well, disappointed.

But, hey! I liked the gameplay in the new maps, also we have Monte Carlo confirmed. As I said, I trully waited more new things, but... Yeah. We're gonna deal with it.

No, I'm not going deal with it.

Anyways! Now I'm kinda sad and my hype kinda felt... Let's just... Wait the things go better and fully done when the game was already prepared to be released next year.

See ya with more Overwatch requests for this week!

And now, take my moodboard:

Overwatch Events: 2021 Summer Games

Alright, it's been a while since I've posted(oops), but taking a look at the 2021 Summer Games event announcement video has gotten me excited!

We know that the 2021 Summer Games Event is starting on Tuesday, July 20th and we can assume that it will end on Tuesday, August 10th.

Going off of the video, we know that we will be getting a new Symmetra skin(finally), Ashe skin, and Mei skin. I think that they all are legendaries, but I'm not sure.

With that said, @ overfire_ru on Twitter noticed a couple more skins. In the top right image, you can see a new Sigma skin. Then, in the big image at the bottom, you can see a new Winston skin, a possible new Orisa, and Pharah skin, although I think that the Pharah skin shown in the image is her skin from last year.

So, TLDR: The 2021 Summer Games Event will start on July 20th. We will be getting a new Symmetra skin, Ashe skin, Mei skin, Winston skin, Orisa skin, and Sigma skin. We might also be getting a new Pharah skin, but it isn't super clear.
