Despite the end of Overwatch, [[Winston]] remained in the base (or made it his home). Years after Overwatch was disbanded, the watchpoint was attacked by [[Talon]], whose operatives accompanied by [[Reaper]] entered the base to retrieve a list of all Overwatch operatives. They encountered resistance from Winston, but were able to incapacitate him long enough for Reaper to gain access to the Overwatch agents database. However, Winston was able to overpower the operatives and defeat Reaper before proceeding to interrupt the hack. As a result of the failed operation, Winston initiated the Overwatch recall, bringing all former agents back onto active duty.<ref>''[[Recall (animation)|Recall]]''</ref>

The base showed signs of activity. This was from Winston, who as part of his intent to reform Overwatch, intended to bring the group's communication network back online.<ref name = "PE2015"/> Constructing a [[satellite drone]], he needed to get it to a rocket.<ref name = "PE2015"/> The drone was successfully launched, and he looked on with pride.<ref>2015-19-12, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBIwGKDwnWY Overwatch Theatrical Teaser | "We Are Overwatch"].
