THE FUSE

Overwatch has been in its narrative pay-off era since its soft reboot in February, and that has meant a consistent stream of lore drops for an ongoing story with real momentum for the first time in the game’s 10 years of life. While there is an actual overarching conflict as the peace-keeping Overwatch faces the new Vendetta-led incarnation of the Talon terrorist organization, Blizzard has also been taking some time to fill in some of the more mundane elements of its characters’ lives in between the firefights, and that includes finally paying off a relationship fans have supported for years.
