Blizzard's cinematic team is one of the most impressive in the business, and with the studio's character-based competitive shooter Overwatch out in a few months the team is hard at work on a series of animated shorts focusing on the world, its characters, and the conflicts therein. The first episode, 'Recall', debuts today and its simply wonderful. Focusing on the giant scientist/gorilla Winston it serves as a great introduction to the world and the conflict that's about to begin, whilst also being heartfelt, entertaining, and genuinely thrilling.

Check it out.



This is next level stuff, and dare we say, right up there with animation studios like Pixar. If the rest of the animated shorts are of this quality then we're all in for a treat over the course of the next few months.

Overwatch is out May 24 for PC, Xbox One, and PS4, with an Open Beta starting May 3.

This. Was boring as f***. Looked nice...took about 30 seconds before I was skipping ahead and then closed.
