40-part Overwatch Webtoon ‘Undivided’ officially announced

Being a live-service hero shooter, Blizzard’s Overwatch is relatively light on story, with external video shorts and animations being produced in order to fill out the IP’s world and narrative. That said, one of the biggest complaints with the release of Overwatch 2 was the broken promises made regarding the addition of story campaign-styled missions. While these original plans may never come to be, Blizzard has offered an olive branch to fans of Overwatch’s world, confirming that they are releasing a 40-part  ‘Undivided' Webtoon comic.

In an exclusive report by the publication VICE, Blizzard officially announced a surprise addition coming to the world of Overwatch, with a 40-part Webtoon series currently being developed. Titled ‘Overwatch: Undivided’ the first 3 chapters of the story are available right now to read HERE (with parts 4-8 arriving early via Webtoon’s Fast Pass).

Featuring a pleasing art style and vibrant visuals, Undivided looks to be a direct response to fans who wish for more lore and story, with the synopsis reading as follows:

“In the aftermath of Talon’s strike on Watchpoint: Gibraltar, the heroes of Overwatch take in their devastating defeat. But Vendetta is far from finished, launching attacks around the world on research facilities, military bases, and major cities. As Sojourn rallies the weary heroes to face Talon wherever they strike, she receives crushing news that calls everything she’s stood for into question: When the world says it doesn’t need heroes, can Overwatch still stand, undivided?”

While not the in-game narrative experience which many fans have been asking for, Overwatch: Undivided is a major step forward in this regard. It will be interesting to see how players respond.
