Overwatch developer Blizzard Entertainment rolled out the second episode of animated series titled Genesis. In Part Two: Innocence viewers can continue watching the story of Aurora, the first ever sentient omnic, while also delving deeper into the Omnic Crisis – a massive conflict that changed the fate of the world.
“With Anubis unleashed, the Omnic Crisis takes hold. Humanity faces demise as only a select few, codename: Overwatch, have what it takes to fight back.”
You can learn more about “God Program” Anubis, Aurora and doctor Mina Liao through the novel Overwatch 2: Sojourn, the third OW novel. An audiobook version exists, read by Cherise Boothe.
The conflict between organics and Omnics has been one of the main storylines of Overwatch for years. It affected the lives of many playable characters as well as entire organizations and countries at once. Much like humans, Omnics are not united in their outlook on organic life. There are peacemakers such as Zenyatta and Mondatta, as well as militant groups such as the Null Sector led by Ramattra.
The story of Aurora and omnics will continue in Part Three: Rebirth, premiering July 20 at 9am PT. Are you looking forward to it? Let us know in the comments below!
