Overwatch open beta trailer recaps its Terminator-meets-Incredibles backstory

We've known since the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Overwatch reveal trailer that the ep♕onymous group is no longer an officiall✅y sanctioned band of heroes. But why the group was founded and how it fell apart, well those are the threads that super-smart gorilla Winston is here to share today. Oh, and he'd like to remind you that the open beta for PC, PS4, and Xbox One begins May 5:

As evidenced by the above trailer, Overwatch has plenty of lore and backstory - it just doesn't play out in the way we're used to. There are no lengthy cutscenes, no campaign mode; everything is told through in-game documents, level design, and other media, like comics and animated trailers. But still, I bet plenty of you just learned for the first time that there was a ♐war between robots and humans in this universe, with tensions still boiling under the surface and world violence leading 🌄to the team's reformation.

It's a little hard to get used to, but at least the quality is high enough that even an open beta trailer is worth a watch. Or, you could ignore all this and just have fun shooting player💯s in what is, after all, a competit💖ive online team FPS. Your call.
