Blizzard the last bastion5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Next month, Blizzard is introducing a new Overwatch. This inquisitive Bastion unit set out to explore its surroundings and discover its purpose on a war-ravaged planet. We see a brief and violent glimpse of this war when Bastion analyzes the memory bank of destroyed comrade. ![]() With its combat programming all but lost, it instead displayed an intense curiosity about the natural world and its inhabitants. That was until one fateful day, when it unexpectedly reactivated. Overgrown with vines and roots and nested upon by small animals, the robot sat inert, seemingly unaware of the passing of time. It lay dormant, exposed to the elements and rusting while nature slowly reclaimed it. One unique Bastion unit, severely damaged in the final battles of the war, was left forgotten for over a decade. To this day, Bastion units still symbolize the horrors of the conflict. Following the resolution of the crisis, nearly all of them were destroyed or disassembled. Last Bastion is a cooperative game in which the players take on the roles of heroes defending an ancestral Bastion against the monstrous hordes of the Baleful Queen. During the Omnic Crisis, they were turned against their human makers, forming the bulk of the omnics’ rebel army. Originally created for peacekeeping purposes, Bastion robot units possessed the unique ability to rapidly reconfigure themselves into an assault-cannon mode. Once a frontline combatant in the devastating Omnic Crisis, this curious Bastion unit now explores the world, fascinated by nature but wary of a fearful humanity. Prepare to board the feels train, as Blizzard takes you on an emotional trip full of robotic beeps, boops, and birds.
