Blizzard brought the goods to Gamescom this year, with trailers and announcements for almost every game in its stable, including — and perhaps especially — Overwatch. The team just revealed the game’s latest animated short, Rise and Shine, for viewers, and Mei fans will join me in cheering as this one’s all about her. Unfortunately for Mei, her story’s a sad one, but worth a watch even if you don’t play.
“In Rise and Shine, Mei wakes up years after being cryogenically frozen to find that Overwatch has been disbanded, the world is very different than the one she knows, and that she is the last surviving scientist at Ecopoint: Antarctica.”
