Hero is the fourth animated short for Overwatch. It features Soldier: 76 and takes place at around the same time as Recall, and the other animated shorts of Season 1.[1]

Description[ | ]

"I didn't start this war...but I'm damn well gonna finish it."

Old habits die hard for one ex-Overwatch agent in Hero.

Hero follows the masked vigilante Soldier: 76 on a personal mission to Dorado where he's set to investigate the illegal activities of the Los Muertos gang — but an unexpected complication threatens to compromise his objective.[2]
