New Overwatch Short Delves Into Reinhardt's Past
Blizzard's latest Overwatch short offers everything we've come to expect from the vignettes; incredible animation, deeper dives into characters' backstories, and touching moments.
The newest short, shown off at this year's Blizzcon and titled "Honor and Glory," looks back at Reinhardt's origin story, detailing his past as a overconfident Crusader (a group of futuristic knights who protected Germany with the help of modern military forces), how he became part of the Overwatch initiative, and, most importantly, how he lost sight in his left eye. We don't want to spoil the entire short, so just go ahead and watch it below.
