A Side of Overwatch We Have Never Seen Before
One great thing about well-made games is that they can spark quite a bit of inspiration. Take this new Overwatch fan film for example. Compiling what they learned from the snippets of in-game lore,  LUPIN productions decided to tell the story of Angela Ziegler aka Mercy. See the film below, “Heroes Never Die”:
Narrating the story in the character’s native tongue was a nice touch. And it certainly helps that the speaker actually sounds like Mercy. Then there’s the presentation of a real-life look-alike, game references, and an actual showcase of Mercy’s power. Considering everything that was done right, this production team has an eye for detail.
Overall, just about everything, minus the grittiness, stays true to the look of Overwatch. The game usually makes passing reference to the ‘Omnic War’ that shaped the story. So it was interesting to see that setting portrayed in a realistic light. A for effort.
But, does this mean we’ll obtain more such fan films from LUPIN? Perhaps if this one gets a lot of views.
