Soldier is the star of Overwatch’s newest short

‘Hero’

Recommended Videos

With a little over 24 hours to go until Overwatch launches, the latest digital short has premiered, and it’s basically a full action hero joint (think the last scene of The Rundown — remember that flick?). Dubbed “Hero,” it deals with Soldier: 76, post-fallout with his ex-partner Reaper, and his quest to roam the world doing good — and raging a lot. Lotta rage there.

Like past shorts it’s fairly predictable, but I really like how we’re getting so much background on these characters before the game is even out. If you need a refresher, here’s a recap of every story element released so far for the game.
