New Overwatch Animated Short Reveals Mei’s Tear-Jerking Origin Story

Overwatch animated short during their Gamescom presentation called “Rise and Shine” starring the freeze-ray totting climatologist, Mei.

“In "Rise and Shine”, Mei wakes up years after being cryogenically frozen to find that Overwatch has been disbanded, the world is very different than the one she knows, and that she is the last surviving scientist at Ecopoint: Antarctica. With limited resources and time, Mei must use science to figure out a way to get help.”
