"Overwatch 2 anime" was not on my 2023 bingo card but let's be real, it totally should have been. Congrats to those of you who did, because Blizzard has revealed that it's releasing a three-part miniseries called Genesis, with the first part premiering later this week.
It looks to be a prequel to Overwatch, probably around the time of the Omnic Crisis or at least closely related to its events. The trailer shows off a young Reaper, Ana, Reinhardt and Torbjorn, plus a glimpse at an unknown omnic woman. There's not a whole lot more to say about the short one-minute trailer, with the voiceover mostly alluding to how life changed during the omnic uprising.
