For years the Overwatch 2 community has been requesting Blizzard Entertainment to develop a TV series for the game, due to the spectacular videos they keep creating for various events and celebrations.

The outcry was at its absolute peak when Overwatch 2 released an animated short for one its support heroes, Kiriko, bedazzling all community members with the character's art, lore, animation, and story telling.

This will be the first major mini-series that explores the lore of Overwatch 2 in such depth outside of the animated shorts that are released every now and then. Already, a short glimpse of what the players can expect to see from this series has been dropped and the response has been exceptional.

Overwatch 2 Genesis: All Parts

The animated mini-series has been split into three parts called Dawn, Innocence, and Rebirth.

  1. Overwatch 2 Genesis - Part One: Dawn

  2. Overwatch 2 Genesis - Part Two: Innocence

  3. Overwatch 2 Genesis - Part Three: Rebirth

All of them combined seem to be a prequel to the Omnic Crisis, giving us a glimpse of a happier time when things were stable and everyone was in harmony with each other, how all of it took a dark turn, and the heroes who stepped up to help put an end to all of it.

We have already gotten a glimpse of a few heroes like Echo, Reaper, Reinhardt, Bastion, Ana, Torbjörn, and even get a glimpse of a mysterious Omnic atop a snow covered mountain which looks like Nepal, looking at a structure, possibly the Shambali Monastery.

This could either be the early lore of Zenyatta-Ramattra or glimpse of a new upcoming hero. For now, the information is limited to everything discussed above and more will be revealed along with the Overwatch 2 animated mini-series, Genesis.
