Blizzard releases Overwatch 2 lore and introduces Sojourn hero cinematic with a cool cyber-dog.

Overwatch’s Newest Animated Short: Sojourn Takes the Spotlight

Finally, Overwatch fans are in for a treat as Blizzard releases their first new animated short in 9 months. The star of this captivating story is none other than Overwatch hero, Sojourn, known by her alter ego, Vivian Chase. Titled “Calling,” this lore-filled masterpiece introduces us to the daring adventures of Sojourn, who made her highly anticipated debut in Overwatch 2 nearly 10 months ago.

The animated short delves into the reformation of the legendary Overwatch team. It also explores the consequences of Winston’s illicit attempts to reunite the group. Intriguingly, Sojourn has been operating covertly as an independent agent, keeping herself outside the official confines of Overwatch. However, this decision almost lands her in serious hot water!

Blizzard has initially chosen to keep “Calling” exclusively within Overwatch 2, but devoted fans have already uploaded the clip on YouTube for everyone to enjoy. So, if you’re eager to join Sojourn on her exhilarating journey, it’s just a click away.

In addition to selling the emotional stakes of Sojourn’s courageous battle against both her own doubts and the law, “Calling” introduces fans to an adorable new character, Murphy. Who is she, you ask? Well, Murphy is Sojourn’s highly skilled cybernetic dog. Yes, you heard that right! She’s equipped with prosthetic-powered legs and has a deep appreciation for a certain pastry from Tom Beansons, Overwatch’s clever nod to the beloved coffee chain, Tim Horton’s.

Now, let’s dive back into the story. “Calling” sets the stage for one of Overwatch 2’s most highly anticipated events: Invasion! Sojourn finds herself visited by Agent Trombley, who pays her a visit to ensure she’s not meddling in any Overwatch business. Technically, she isn’t, but she can’t resist her nighttime escapades, fighting against the separatist Null Sector threats. And rumor has it, we might soon see a brand new Sojourn skin that pays homage to her vigilante activities.

Just when things seem to settle down, a colossal threat emerges. Null Sector warships appear over the vibrant city of Toronto, the very same ships that players will encounter in Overwatch 2. These ominous vessels signal the impending Omnic invasion. Luckily, Sojourn has her very own Batcave hidden within the walls of her humble brownstone, ready to rally the troops and defend against the impending chaos.

Mark your calendars, Overwatch players! On August 10th, the game will receive the highly anticipated “Invasion” content drop. Prepare to plunge into new PvE story missions, battling hordes of Null Sector enemies. And that’s not all! The update will introduce an exciting new game mode, Flashpoint, along with multiple captivating new maps. But wait, there’s more! Players will also get the chance to embrace the power of the game’s 38th playable hero, a formidable support character. Get ready to level up and experience the latest Overwatch thrill!

While you eagerly await these thrilling additions, take a moment to admire the awe-inspiring images of Murphy. Brace yourself; her irresistible charm might just steal your heart…
