“JUSTICE DOESN’T EXECUTE ITSELF.”
With his peacemaker’s revolver, outlaw Cole Cassidy dispenses his own brand of justice.
At a young age, Cassidy was on the run from the law, smuggling illegal guns and military equipment as a co-founder of the notorious Deadlock Gang in the southwestern United States. But Overwatch put an end to their activities and took Cassidy and some of his accomplices out of circulation. Thanks to his shooting skills and cunning, he was given a choice: he could either rot in a maximum security prison or join Blackwatch, Overwatch’s secret division. He chose the latter.
Despite his initial cynicism, he eventually came to believe that he could make amends for the crimes of his past by fighting against the injustice of the world. McCree appreciated the flexibility granted to Blackwatch as a secret organization without a bureaucracy. But as Overwatch’s influence dried up, rogue elements within Blackwatch sought to infiltrate and abuse the organization. Cassidy turned his back on the intrigue and went into hiding.
A few years later, he resurfaced as a bounty hunter. But although Cassidy’s skills are highly sought after by clients of all kinds, he only puts himself at the service of a cause he believes to be just.
OVERWATCH HEROES
Heroes are the main element in the game Overwatch, as the player can freely choose between them and their class and later play them.
In Overwatch you’ll find a variety of heroes: from the time-traveling adventurer to the armored, rocket-hammer-wielding warrior to the meditating robot monk. Each of the heroes plays differently, so mastering their abilities will only unlock their full potential. No two heroes are alike.
In Overwatch you can expect an international team of powerful heroes, each of whom has made a name for himself in his own way.
OVERWATCH
Overwatch is a team-based 6vs6 shooter that was released on May 24, 2016. Overwatch stays true to the true style of Blizzard’s previous titles. It was developed by Jeff Kaplan and is considered a “new concept” shooter in the FPS genre. The game was officially unveiled at BlizzCon along with 12 heroes on November 7, 2014.
The story of Overwatch is set on a highly fictionalized future version of Earth. In a time where humans and robots, which are called Omnics, live together (Chris Metzen hinted that the story deals with this very robot race). 30 years before the time when Overwatch takes place, the so-called “Omnic Crisis ” occurred. The robots, once helpers of humans, rebelled against their creators for reasons as yet unknown and triggered a worldwide chaos. Faced with the imminent destruction of human civilization, the best soldiers of all nations came together to form a program called “Overwatch”.
Their job was to protect the world from the Omnics, which they succeeded in doing. For the next 25 years, they were the protectors of the planet, united in an international coalition. Some agents stayed, some were replaced, but at some point something changed: the Overwatch disintegrated. However, 5 years later after this event, incidents with Omnics are again accumulating, a worldwide terrorist organization also seems interested in destabilizing the world order. A new crisis is looming. At this point, your career as an Overwatch agent begins.
