After the pair find Brigitte, the film moves quickly through the map and show one interpretation of how Reinhardt and Brigitte ended up joining Overwatch.

It also features appearances from Widowmaker, Sombra and Reaper in their roles as Talon agents attempting to throw a wrench into Overwatch’s plans.

The final scene even features a tribute to Developer Jeff Kaplan with Sombra and D.Va, which could mean Think Big is already working on their next live action production.
