The Last Bastion May Be the Most Touching Overwatch Short

The Last Bastion May Be the Most Touching Overwatch Short

Do you love Wall-E ? Well, Blizzard has an Overwatch animated short for you that’s equally touching and engaging. The developer has been releasing videos for the game’s heroes, and The Last Bastion takes a closer look at Bastion, a robot formerly used for war that’s currently enjoying a more peaceful existence.

What happens to a war machine when most of its memories of war are wiped and it wakes up in a peaceful forest? Overwatch’ s The Last Bastion answers the question in the best way, with a dialogue-free short story that will make you fall in love with your robot friend.

Watch it. Love it.

I love how Overwatch’ s The Last Bastion handles PTSD and friendship. It makes me want a Ganymede of my very own. Which is possible, because Blizzard is going to be making and selling a plush of Bastion’s bird buddy in its store for $20 this fall. That’s so tempting!
