Weekly Recall: Going Ultra

Hey there, Heroes! We hope you’ve been enjoying Season 3 and dodging trains in Neon Junction as best you can.

Weekly Recall: Overwatch Pride Lore Guide

For many of you, this might be your first time celebrating Pride with our crew; the Reign of Talon brought in tons of new Overwatch enthusiasts and convinced quite a few of you to hop back into our fair queues. It’s easy enough to learn the ropes from Winston and pick a favorite Hero (or 5) but getting caught up on a decade of cinematics, short stories, comics, and other lore can be overwhelming. Worry not, gamers. Our resident...

Weekly-ish Recall: Always Climb, Never Fall

Some Heroes enter the Overwatch universe cloaked in darkness, sneaking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

Sierra Woods? Not so much. If the hot pink drone didn’t get your attention when Season 2 debuted, her sparkling grenades and sugar-sweet Southern drawl should do the job. Whether she’s facing a steep peak or Talon’s newest agents of misery, Sierra carries her responsibilities—and her own mysteries—with whimsy and a healthy dose of confidence.
