Overwatch’s new short is a-Mei-zing

Overwatch debuted its new CG short today, “Rise and Shine,” at its Gamescom event in Cologne, Germany. It focuses on Mei, the Chinese ecologist who also wields a handy freezing gun. The animation focuses on her awakening after an accidental extended period in cryogenic sleep.

Overwatch has been a big hit since launching last May for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The team-based shooter has attracted over 30 million players and has given fans constant free updates, including new maps and heroes.
