Will Soldier: 76 make a cinematic appearance at the Coca-Cola Launch Event?

by - 8 years ago

With Overwatch launch fast approaching, rumors are flying over what can be expected at the Coca-Cola launch event. We know we will get to see all the current animated shorts, a behind the scenes look at the creation of overwatch, and surprises. It is the surprises that so many have been speculating about. The most popular one seems to be we will get a brand new animated short revealed. This has gained some traction with a tweet.

On closer examination we come up with a couple scenes that don’t appear in any animation we have seen so far. It looks like we are likely getting a Soldier: 76 animated short to celebrate Overwatch launch.

Soldier; 76 isn't one to stay pinned down. Time for a mad dash.

This may lead into the scene we saw in the “We are Overwatch” video.

Soldier: 76 is involved in taking down a bank heist.

Bank robbers have reached the vault.

Looks like one of the robbers is going to need to see the prison dentist!

It has not been confirmed we will get this short at the launch event. But the signs are definitely pointing us there.
