You can soon explore a new chapter in Overwatch’s evolving storyline through an official WEBTOON series from Blizzard Entertainment. Titled Overwatch: Undivided, the project expands the game’s narrative beyond the screen and into a structured comic format.
The series is planned as a 40-episode run, giving you a deeper look at the characters, conflicts, and ongoing events that shape the Overwatch universe. It builds on the established lore while offering fresh developments that connect directly to the current arc.
Overwatch WEBTOON release date
You can start reading the series on March 31 at 5 p.m. PT, when the first three episodes go live on WEBTOON.
You can access Episodes 1–3 for free at launch.
If you want to continue right away, you can unlock Episodes 4–8 through the platform’s Fast Pass option.
What Happens in the Overwatch WEBTOON Series?
You follow the story after Talon’s assault on Watchpoint: Gibraltar, where Overwatch suffers a serious defeat. The events take place after From the Ashes, pushing the timeline forward rather than revisiting past missions.
Vendetta escalates the conflict. Attacks strike research centers, military installations, and major cities across the globe, forcing Overwatch to respond under pressure.
You see Sojourn step into a leadership role as she regroups a shaken team. She coordinates counterattacks while trying to restore focus and discipline among heroes who just faced a major loss.
At the same time, the series explores a growing public backlash. You witness how shifting global opinion challenges the team’s legitimacy and purpose.
Key story elements include:
- Fallout from the Gibraltar strike
- Ongoing global assaults by Talon forces
- Sojourn’s leadership under scrutiny
- Public doubt about the need for heroes
The narrative centers on a direct question: if the world claims it no longer needs heroes, can Overwatch remain united and continue its mission?
Overwatch WEBTOON preview
You get an early look at Overwatch: Undivided before its full rollout on WEBTOON. The preview pages spotlight a wide cast, including D.Va, Juno, Winston, Cassidy, Lúcio, Zarya, Genji, and Echo, placing familiar heroes at the center of the current conflict.
A key exchange stands out between Cassidy and Genji. Cassidy references Gabriel Reyes, now known as Reaper, tying the scene back to their shared history in Blackwatch, Overwatch’s former covert unit led by Reyes.
Recent lore developments add context. Reaper has separated from the new Talon leadership and departed alongside Widowmaker and Sombra, setting up tension that you can expect the series to explore across its planned 40-episode run.
