Overwatch’s next animated short will debut on August 18 (updated)

Overwatch might be getting ready to reveal a new character … and if not, at least we’ll get to see a nice video.

Blizzard announced today that it will show the next animated short for its hit team-based shooter at 9 a.m. Pacific on August 18 during the Gamescom game industry tradeshow in Cologne, Germany. You’ll be able to watch the reveal live on Blizzard’s site. Overwatch has quickly become a major success with more than 15 millions players, and a new animated short could mean we’re about to see another hero coming to the hit.
