Blizzard has released the first episode of its new Overwatch 2 miniseries, Genesis.

Today’s episode is the first of three, and together, the series will focus on Omnic robots and how they went from human-made creations to what they are in the world of Overwatch 2. In Episode 1, Omnica Corp Scientists finally reveal the next generation of Omnics and it doesn’t take long for them to ponder whether what they have done is good for society or the start of a new crisis.

    It’s pretty nice - though I would have preferred a cinematic, even with in-engine visuals. Still, their animated content is always on point, so this kind of content’s always welcome.

    So even though I enjoyed this, on reflection, it just isn’t really the type of trans media content I want from Overwatch. Whilst fleshing out the background of the world is interesting, I feel like I would much prefer real content about the characters from the game. I want to see Rein and Brig shooting the shit whilst they eat lunch together before it cuts to Winston and Genji running along the top of a train in pursuit of a Talon member. Just give me a Transformers movie with Overwatch characters.
