“HEROES DON’T DIE.”
Dr. Angela Ziegler is a true guardian angel for those in her care. She is a unique healer, brilliant scientist and staunch advocate for peace.
Ziegler had a successful career as a physician and worked as head of surgery at a prestigious Swiss hospital before making a breakthrough in the field of applied nanobiology, fundamentally improving the treatment options for life-threatening diseases as well as injuries. It was this very expertise that caught the attention of Overwatch.
Having lost her parents in war, however, Ziegler disliked the militaristic approach the organization took to global peacekeeping. Ultimately, however, she saw that Overwatch offered her the opportunity to save far more lives than she had previously been able to. As head of Overwatch’s medical research department, Angela sought to harness her research for use on the front lines and in crisis situations. The result of her work was the Valkyrie mission armor, which Ziegler personally slipped into on many Overwatch missions.
Despite her major contributions to Overwatch’s success, she often found herself at odds with her superiors and the organization’s overarching goals. When Overwatch was disbanded, Ziegler dedicated herself to helping the war-affected population.
Although she spends most of her time in crisis zones around the world providing emergency aid to refugees and the war-wounded, Dr. Ziegler never hesitates to don her Valkyrie mission armor when innocents are in danger.
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.
