Watchpoint: Gibraltar was once an outpost teaming with heroes from around the world. During the golden era of Overwatch it stood as a strategic point on the Mediterranean. The bases' vibrant oranges, whites, and browns collided symbolically with nigh-golden rocks and ocean blue. Those days seemed but distant memories now. While the colors never changed, aside from the occasional rust, the inhabitants did. 

A base that once saw regular traffic was now desolate; its only occupants a [s]gorilla[/s], scientist, named Winston and his computer program Athena. The constant flow of new heroes had halted entirely since Overwatch had disbanded. Gibraltar was a husk, a representation of what Overwatch had become, and a culmination of all of the failures of the organization. As rust had crept through every crack and crevice of the outpost so too had the overwhelming feeling of helplessness. Winston's powerful mind betrayed him as he seemed to cycle, ad infinitum, through every stage of grief. 

Ultimately it would be around a decade of grief, and a constant barrage of new threats that made Winston decide that it was time that Overwatch returned to set things right. In the midst of a Second Omnic Crisis and Talon operating far more frequently, the world needed new heroes as well as old ones. Winston realized that not every former agent would be up to this, but he also knew that many heroes would once again answer the call.

Unfortunately, Reaper- formerly Gabriel Reyes- had managed to catch wind of Winston's mission to recall the agents of Overwatch. Through methods unknown to Winston, the mercenary managed to capture a prize he had long been seeking. Vital information that outlined a myriad of heroes' identities was leaked to Talon operatives. To protect other agents, both new and old, Winston re-instated the Blackwatch operative force. For now, the agents of Overwatch would operate covertly until they could restore the public image of years passed.

Today was the day that this journey for redemption and reformation began. The agents have been recalled to Watchpoint: Gilbratar in secret. Though our heroes are here for their own, respective reasons- they all are now the conduits for a resurgence that will change the world forever.
