SOJOURN OVERWATCH I AM COMPLETELY HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH YOU
Overwatch Recalled: Pharah
Fareeha Amari a.k.a. Pharah is the daughter of Ana Amari, former Second-in-Command of the original Overwatch, and Sam Amari. Pharah was a member of the Egyptian Army and is now a member of Helix Security International and uses the Raptora Mark VI in battle.
Since she was the daughter of the Second-in-Command of Overwatch, she wanted to join them when she was able, similarly like Baptiste, but they were disbanded before she could. So, she would most certainly have a reason to join the Recalled Overwatch and she might have received the message herself. Most of the world believed Ana is dead, other than a few, so that means Pharah, or her father Sam, might have been given the device that had the recall message. Depending if she had it or not, then either she joined because she got the message and answered it in Ana’s place or because she was invited by someone else.
Pharah knew most of the original Overwatch including Mercy, McCree, Rein, Jack Morrison(Soldier 76), Gabriel Reyes(Reaper), Torb, and Sojourn. I would also assume that she knows Genji, Tracer, and Brigitte. The only people I don’t think she really knows are Mei, Echo, and Lucio. So, she was probably invited by Mercy, Rein, Brig, Genji, or Tracer. I don’t think that Sojourn or Torb would have invited her since neither of them immediately answered the recall message. McCree also could have told her since they seemed to be close based off of photos and game interactions.
Anyways, the next posts are gonna be about why I think McCree is joining the Recalled Overwatch and about what might be going on in NYC that would make it important to the lore.
TLDR: Pharah was obviously going to join the Recalled Overwatch. She either responded to Ana’s recall message since the world thinks Ana is dead or she was invited to join the recalled Overwatch, by probably Mercy or Reinhardt in my opinion.
Overwatch Recalled: Sojourn
Sojourn is going to be added to Overwatch 2. So, today, I’m going to go over information we know about her and what I think her relationships will be like with the Recalled Overwatch.
Sojourn was an Overwatch captain that joined during the organizations Golden Years. After Doomfist escaped prison, she was the person who directed Jack Morrison to change tactics, focusing on arresting Maximilian. She assigned Tracer, Mercy, Winston, and Genji on the Storm Rising mission and commanded them via a radio channel. After Overwatch was disbanded, she laid low in Canada, presumably Toronto. She received the recalled message and will be meeting up with the Recalled Overwatch.
Overwatch Old Guard: Based off all of that we know that she knows Winston, Tracer, Reinhardt, McCree, Genji, and Mercy since they would all be considered part of the old guard. I think that she is really close with Winston, there is a clip from Blizzconline that shows her hugging Winston, I also think that she was close with Mercy, but not as close as Winston. I would also think that she has kind of a strict older-sister vibe with Tracer, McCree, and Genji since I’m assuming since she is older than all of them, out of the three of them McCree is probably the closest to her in age. Then, I think she has a rivalry with Reinhardt or they have very different strategies ways off thinking because when looking at some Blizzconline clips it looks like she is scolding him.
Overwatch but not totally old guard: I’m not totally sure if Sojourn ever met Mei, Brigitte, and Pharah, but she might have. I feel like she would get along well with both Brigitte and Pharah based off of photos and from what we have seen in Blizzconline. I would assume that her and Mei would get along, but I feel like it would take a while for them to get close since Mei is pretty shy.
Overwatch New Guard: Sojourn hasn’t met any of the new guard, unless you consider her most likely knowing Dr. Liao who is kind of Echo. So, I think that Sojourn would get along with Echo, maybe she would be a little sad since Echo reminds her of Dr. Liao. I feel like she would get along fine with Lucio and D.Va, she probably wouldn’t be super close with them since they are a lot younger than her. I think that she wouldn’t have much of a relationship with Zarya at first, I think that most of the characters won’t get along with Zarya for a while at least, but I think that they will still respect each other. Finally, I think that Sojourn and Baptiste would get along well, I feel like most of Overwatch would get along well with Baptiste based off voice interactions.
Anyways, next, I think that I’ll speculate on why Talon will be attacking/going after Zenyatta at the new India map and why they might be doing that.
TLDR: I think that Sojourn will get along well with a lot of the Recalled Overwatch, with more deep connections with the Old Guard.
Overwatch Recalled: Soldier 76
Jack Morrison a.k.a. Soldier 76 became a vigilante after Overwatch was disbanded and when he was injured in the Swiss HQ explosion. He was a soldier in the US military before becoming the commander of Overwatch with his second being Ana Amari. The question is, will he stop his vigilante work to join the Recalled Overwatch? There are three possibilities in my mind, he joins, he doesn’t, or he helps them out with a few missions but doesn’t officially work for them. So, I’m going to go over what I think will happen depending on what he chooses.
If he joins: I think he would join because of guilt. He would feel bad about not telling Reinhardt, Sojourn, and maybe McCree. I would assume that he was attacking somewhere, a Talon base, and Overwatch had the same plan when they met. It would be pretty emotional, especially for Rein, Sojourn, Pharah, and possibly Jesse. If he joins, Ana will probably also join since they were traveling together.
If he doesn’t join: We will probably get more content of him traveling around with Ana. I think it would be interesting to see an animated short about Ana, Soldier 76, and Reaper.
If he works with them (inconsistently): Mercy probably asked him and Ana to help because they were all in the area. Most of the Recalled Overwatch begs him and Ana to join, but they don’t want to because they feel like they would mess it up again. They don’t want to help, but they don’t want to really be part of the Recalled Overwatch, so they be like backup if Overwatch needs it.
Personally, I think him and Ana will keep traveling around, maybe help out on one or two missions but they wouldn’t become official members.
Anyways, I’m going to try to post again today, a post about Junkrat and Roadhog that I started to work on early in the morning. In the next few days, I’m going to post about what skins I want for the 2021 Archives Event.
TLDR: I think there are three possibilities when it comes to Soldier 76 joining the Recalled Overwatch. One, he would join because he feels guilty for not telling close friends he was alive. Two, he doesn’t join and we get more Ana and Soldier 76 vs. Reaper content. Three, him and Ana act as backup for Overwatch.
OW2 News: Developer Livestream
Alright, quick update. There is going to be a livestream on March 18th, 2022 at 12pm PST (3pm EST) about impressions of the Overwatch 2 alpha and goals of the closed OW2 Beta. The livestream will be on the Overwatch twitch account which is twitch.tv/playoverwatch.
Here is the twitter announcement:
Overwatch Events/Updates: Bastet Ana and Sojourn Trailer
Alright, here's a quick update on stuff. Sorry that this is short, I've been super busy this week.
The Bastet Ana challenge is live until April 19th. You need to win a maximum of 27 games to get the skin (a win counts as two points). Here is a link to the twitter announcement.
We got more information about Sojourn via an Origin Story video.
Some of this information includes: her actual name is Vivian Chase, she is an Acting Commander for some organization(it might be Overwatch, but I'm not sure when she is referencing that title bc that could mess with the timeline), she was a member of the Canadian Special Forces when she first worked with Overwatch during the Omnic Crisis. After that Jack Morrison got into contact with her about joining Overwatch and she ended up joining. She worked a lot of different types of missions in Overwatch, she just did whatever was needed to do.
We knew she had some cybernetic/prosthetics, but there seem to be a lot more than we could see before. She had some kind of cybernetics connected to her arms, legs, and eyes. She also has the little mechanical pieces on her face that some other characters have (Doomfist and Moira, kind of. So, maybe she was hurt by Talon or those types of cybernetics were created by Overwatch and taken by Talon). There are probably more things revealed in the origin story, but those were the main things in my eyes. I will include the video below for you to watch, but here is the twitter link for anyone who wants it.
Smaller note: apparently the codenames most Overwatch agents use seem to be called 'Callsigns'. I never heard about this, so I'm not sure if this is specific to Sojourn or if this is some new thing they have expanded on in lore.
Anyways, that's it. I hope you all have a good day! ~ Nova.
Overwatch Events/OW2 News: Combat Medic Baptiste and New Ability Kits
Alright, sorry for the late update. This past week was super chaotic, I had a lot of school work, but I wanted to post a quick update, so here it is.
The Week 3 Challenge for the Anniversary Remix Volume 1 has begun. You can win Combat Medic Baptiste by playing 27 games total (a win counts as two games). You also win his player icon and sprays (one of which features Mauga).
2. The ability kit for Doomfist was announced today. Here is the link to the tweet from the official Overwatch twitter. The mains points are the following: he is now a tank, he has a blocking ability that charges his rocket punch faster, uppercut was removed, and seismic slam acts more like a Winston jump.
3. The ability kit for Orisa was also announced today. Here is the link to the tweet from the official Overwatch twitter. Most of her abilities have been changed or deleted, so I will include an image below explaining her abilities.
4. Sojourn's official abilities have been announced. Here is the tweet that announced it. I will also include the image of the ability list below.
5. As excited as I am to play Sojourn, I am also excited about the upcoming cinematic that has been announced that focuses on Sojourn (especially since she has a pet dog in the footage we have seen). I will include a video talking about it here. This videos also address' the quick look we get at Roadhog's OW2 appearance which I will be discussing in a separate post because of the lore implications that I think are tied to his look.
Anyways, that is the main news that I wanted to cover. I'll be posting later this week about Roadhog's new look, so keep an eye open for that. ~ Nova.
New reminder that Sojourn wears glasses in her cinematic for SOME FUCKING REASON Even with cybernetic eyes (which aren't ominously blue here)
I apologize for those I upset but I say this from the heart
All Genji and Sojourn mains can disrespectfully suck my d!ck.
I’ve never hated a type of person more than the people who main these Overwatch skins
I cannot fucking stand y’all
Y’all get on my last nerve every time
