In anticipation of Overwatch 2’s upcoming story objectives, Blizzard has actually launched a prolonged cinematic revealing what Sojourn has depended on since the Overwatch group disbanded, what her motivation for leaving the group was, and how she as soon as again ends up being involved in their brave adventures. The brief ends with a look at the events leading up to Overwatch 2’s next season, Intrusion.
The cinematic opens with a short look at Sojourn’s morning routine, which features her bringing back a frothy cup of coffee to her city house where her corgi Murphy excitedly awaits her return. Sojourn’s peaceful early morning is disrupted when Agent Trombley, a member of Canadian law enforcement, pays her a go to.
Trombley starts to question Sojourn’s whereabouts last night, as he understands other agents of Overwatch have been engaging in some good old fashioned vigilante justice. Sojourn rapidly rejects being involved with Overwatch, stating that while she got Winston’s call to arms, she never ever acted on it. Trombley then exposes during an operation last night, he and his group were assailed by omnics, and just survived thanks to a mysterious protector who intervened.
Though Sojourn denies any involvement, Trombley exposes he found a bullet at the scene that matches the ones her railgun uses and Sojourn drops the act. After a short conversation in which the former hero stresses she will never stop doing the ideal thing and how she left the Overwatch group due to the fact that they lost sight of their objective of uplifting the world and its people, she informs Trombley to merely do what he thinks is. Trombley then takes out a set of handcuffs to arrest Sojourn under charges of vigilantism, but is noticeably contrasted.
(well, kind of), Trombley does not have to make the call, as surges from just outside Sojourn’s home reveal the Omnic Insurgency has reached Toronto. Layover quickly activates a sort of home defense protocol, changing her living-room into an operations base. While Trombley watches on in bewilderment, Sojourn begins to call her network of representatives in Toronto. Trombley then puts the handcuffs away and asks Sojourn what her orders are, keeping in mind that she is the city’s “best hope.”
The occasions in the cinematic apparently kick off Overwatch 2’s forthcoming season, Invasion, in which various PvE objectives will take players through putting an end to an omnic intrusion. Not much is understood about what these story objectives will require– or what some unusual, John Cena related problems pertain to it– but more details relating to both things appears to be simply around the corner. Overwatch 2 Invasion starts on August 10.
