Soldiers. Scientists. Adventurers. Oddities. During the Omnic Crisis, the people of our world were scattered, devastated . . . but heroes from around the globe answered the call. Overwatch offered a beacon of hope to weary survivors looking to reclaim and rebuild our war-torn world. After the Crisis had abated, their role expanded to help humanity solve some of the planet’s most dire problems and usher in a new age of hope and prosperity. And yet, just as Overwatch hit its prime, it fell victim to its own power, and was disbanded. But years later, amidst a rising tide of injustice, the heroes of Overwatch stand strong, ready to fight for a better tomorrow. Now fans can trace the history of Overwatch in this comprehensive volume, packed with declassified mission briefings, splash artwork, weapon schematics, and more. All new lore developed by New York Times -bestselling, award-winning author Seanan McGuire in partnership with Blizzard Entertainment threads together the story of Overwatch across its many comics, stories, cinematics, and game missions. Don’t miss this must-have, collectible read for Overwatch fans both old and new. Review: Big and Beautiful - This is a big book. It's got a gorgeous wraparound art cover. Metallic finish on the main Overwatch player characters. Just really pretty and suitable as a gift for any Overwatch fan. The world building is pretty comprehensive with broad strokes of the near future technology and culture. Gives a nice over view of the Omnic Crisis, both on the lead up, the major events during the Crisis including the creation of Overwatch, and then the over 2 decades of Overwatch's existence after the Omnic Crisis, and the eventual downfall. Includes historical interludes and bios of the main Overwatch agents, the founders Jack Morrison, Gabriel Reyes, Ana Amari, Wilhelm Reinhardt, Torbjorn Lindholm and Mina Liao. Also Bios on Cole Cassidy (Jesse McCree), Angela Zeigler (Mercy), Genji Shimada, Vivian Chase (Sojourn), Winston, and Lena Oxton (Tracer). It's all over a good general reference to the world that is Overwatch. A wonderful Source Book for all fans interested in the Lore and history of the Overwatch universe. The book is set as having been published to the general public in the Overwatch Universe, referencing the declassified documents in Overwatch's Zurich Archives. As such it refers to the deaths of Ana Amari, Gabriel Reyes, and Jack Morrison, who people familiar with the game "know" as being alive. The author, Seanan McGuire is a top notch author of modern fantasy. So good at creating worlds and word crafting. The book is easy to digest, and a fun, immersive read. I give it 5 stars all the way. Review: The Great Story from the World of a Great Game - Well-written compendium of stories, histories, and mysteries from the world of Overwatch. Overwatch fans must get their hands on this!

I love it!
I haven't finish reading all of it but its a great book. It talks about Overwatch and some of the different organizations like Talon, Vishkar, etc. It does an amazing job building the world. Don't buy this book expecting it to have a deep dive on your current favorite heros. It covers the beginning and end of Overwatch.

Great book but came in damaged
As the title says, I love this book. A must need for anyone who’s actually interested in the lore of this game. But my book came in with a damaged slip cover, the title was torn and crinkled, the plastic covering torn too when I opened the box.

最高
すべて英語で書かれており難しいですが、現代の和訳技術を駆使すれば問題ありません。 内容はおおむねオムニック・クライシス前後とオーバーウォッチ創設から解散、そしてその後の世界がメインです。あと、オーバーウォッチ・エージェントの紹介「どういった生活を送っていたのか」「どういう経緯でオーバーウォッチに加入したか」とかもあります。オーバーウォッチ再招集のところまでは含まれません。 書いてある内容はこれまで明らかになっていない部分を大いに含んでいるので、例えオーバーウォッチ大好き人間で、かつオリジンストーリーをすべて見ている人であっても新鮮な気持ちで読めるかと思います。

Lots of good lore.
This book is written as an in-universe history of the rise and fall of the Overwatch organization. Perfect for lore nuts.

Pequeños detalles.
¡Llegó a tiempo! Pero realmente venía con algunos detalles en las esquinas de la portada, fuera de eso el resto del libro estaba en buenas condiciones. La portada está preciosa c
