Overwatch Announces New Hero, Animated Short for Reinhardt

Boy, is today an exciting day for Overwatch. Blizzard has not only released a new animated short for Reinhardt, diving further deeper into his backstory and his return to Overwatch, they have also announced their next hero - Moira!

A support character allied with Talon, Moira is sort of like Zenyatta's evil counterpart. She blends together orbs, beams, and the lovechild of Reaper's Wraith Form coupled with Sombra's Translocator. You can check her hero page out here!

Equal parts brilliant and controversial, scientist Moira O'Deorain is on the cutting edge of genetic engineering, searching for a way to rewrite the fundamental building blocks of life.

On top of that, Reinhardt's backstory has also been expanded. Focusing on the time Reinhardt spent with the Crusaders during the Omnic Crisis, his motivations as a hero, a champion of justice and righteous, honor, and glory have been greatly expanded! Reinhardt is one of my personal favorite heroes in Overwatch as well, so this was a real treat to see. Check it out down below!
