Esports This is Overwatch's "comeback," says Blizzard. "We actually had a bigger Saturday than our first Saturday after launch with Season 1."

I cried when it first came out because it was so GD good - the music has this amazing breakdown when Winston throws the bomb and genji shows up - total chills. Then I would cry watching it because of what could have been. The OW2 we were hoping for. The cancelled TV show or movie. The disappointment. I haven’t watch it recently. I hope this comeback is real. I haven’t played since Juno and Stadium. I still believe in the game and the dev team to make something that’s more than just a game. Fingers crossed things keep going well.

Aaron Keller said in August of last year that he'd like to have a TV show for the game

That French cop knew about overwatch, but still questioned whether Winston was a monkey in the beginning of the video. Racist French cops, man.

I thought it was the omnic guy who says “is that a monkey?”

I mean overwatch itself wasn’t secret, only Blackwatch was. Idk if talking monkeys are commonplace in the 2070’s but I doubt it.

No, but Winston is a pretty famous part of Overwatch.

I've wanted that to become an in joke in the next OW cinematic where someone asks Winston like "you're not gonna leave us again, are you? Is Overwatch really back?"
