Synopsis

Enter the world of Overwatch, the smash-hit
from Blizzard Entertainment, in this five-story anthology chronicling some of
the video game's most fascinating and celebrated characters, now available for
the first time in print!

In Port-de-Paix, the insidious reach of Talon
threatens to drag Baptiste into a past he'd rather forget . . . Amidst a ruined
temple in Suravasa, Symmetra is tasked with restoring damage done by the
Vishkar Corporation, and healing the hearts of those who worshiped there...
Tucked away in a hideout in Cairo, Ana Amari questions her future, and meets an
old friend who may be able to give her the answers she's been looking for... One
fateful explosion brings Mercy back to a fight she abandoned for years--until
now... And one former hero must determine whether to assume the mantle of a
darker purpose that will change the course of his life forever.

Since its initial launch in 2016, Overwatch has
captivated the imaginations of over 50 million players worldwide. Now fans can
join some of the game's most iconic heroes--and villains--on a series of missions
ranging from the lush Caribbean to southern India, and everywhere in between.
Authored by some of the most compelling voices in science fiction today,
including Michael Chu, Brandon Easton, Christie Golden, and Alyssa Wong, this
short story anthology is rife with themes of love and loss, ambition and
despair, alliances and conflict, all pointing toward a common hope, that the
future is worth fighting for.
