So! Regarding your lore theories, I think the events of this story are WHY Lucheng has lost contact with the Mars colony. Who's to say Hammond didn't blow up some crucial Martian communication arrays when he filled that hallway with mines? He was on a floor that had live footage of Horizon Lunar Colony, so it wouldn't be surprising if any other communication equipment was caught in the explosion. Which means Hammond could be responsible for putting Juno and the Martian colony in serious danger. That could make for an interesting interaction or two between them. As for the Junkers: boy howdy, I'm nervous about how future works are going to handle their portrayal. The Junkers are fun villains, but their xenophobia puts them in a very tricky position in the story. Even *if* the omnics the Junkers are attacking are "rabid," this story makes it seem like the Junkers are the aggressors, hunting them down first. I wouldn't want the Junkers to become heroes, though a villain vs. villain fight between them and Null Sector could be interesting, with Winston attempting to make it through the crossfire to rescue Hammond. At any rate, thanks for covering this story!
There is a line in the story just one sentence. It mentions Hammond having bested Roadhog in the Junkertown arena. That would be a cool animated fight to see.
Ya know, I wonder if Ramattra and Wrecking Ball would get along. I know they both an interaction which left Ram chuckling, but if they knew each other's stories - that each of their kind has suffered at the hands of humans. Both blessed with intelligence and true autonomy, but had things taken from them.
In the Mauga animation, Doomfists mentions he could see the explosion from space. No doubt hes made contact with the apes or even recruited them into talon. Remember the old concept art for OW where they showed a bunch of heroes w/ abilities? One of the heroes resembled a sort of arctic ape, closer to a yeti due to modifications probably. I have no doubt in my mind he or the leader of the uprising will at some point joint the roster as a playbale hero!
this is my absolute favorite story from HA, i already adored Horizon Lunar Colony but getting to see all these new details is so awesome :D thanks for covering such a good story, really liked the video !
After the null sector stuff is done, I'd love seeing a story arc where the apes crash into earth while at the same time the Junkers invade mainland. We could maybe throw a Brasilian uprising in the mix too, also talon, can't forget about that one.
I'd love the symmetry if the colony apes slowly got to Winston's level of intelligence and had managed to over scale Winston's tesla cannon into a lunar base weapon.
Overwatch lore, GALORE in this one! So many juicy threads and points for the future! What were your favourites? :D Let me know!

a chilling collaboration for the ages!
Hammond and Winston have a voice line talking about this a bit. When spawning in together in open queue.

Not going to lie I had always thought there would be a poacher hero introduced at some point with the sole purpose of recapturing Hammond and Winston
i love that after all these years youre still keeping up with the lore

The only thing overwatch didn't ruin is its lore and stories.
It ruined PVE story and it sucks to not have it anymore.
Overwatch ruins it's own lore all the time....are you new?
@@FaytVanguard explain how they ruin the lore
@@trickymander everything after retribution and especially after the microsoft acquisition has been way more kitschy and childish
Man it must be really hard to be miserable 24/7
Greatly appreciate the narration and breakdown. I play these like podcasts at work

I've been waiting for this video 🙏
Thanks dog, hope you enjoy!!
I wonder for juno and Hammond interaction
Maybe we will see a updated map soon of lunar colony with the new game mode coming out?
I’m waiting for that heinous Dr Chao and Moira collab
the detailed lore explanation is great
Make a movie overwatch please🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Overwatch lore is ass and anybody saying otherwise has no idea hoewa good story is written
that "new structure on the moon built by the apes" might be the lore explanation for a future horizon colony clash game mode map
My first thoughts as well!
Would be very cool!!
Poor Hammond.
Now I see why Reaper sometimes says “You think Lucheng interstellar’s clean? (Chuckles) Nobody’s clean.”
I'd love the symmetry if the colony apes slowly got to Winston's level of intelligence and had managed to over scale Winston's tesla cannon into a lunar base weapon.
Imagine if they eventually use that to help with the omnic crisis?
YESSSS, LORE FOR MY BOY.
ahhh yes the Rich Overwatch 2 Lore experience, except none of it is in Game. A brilliant Strategy.
Just wish they can show off lore in animated form like in the past.
I'm going to be honest I'm just happy you wouldn't like some kind of generic happy ending when he got his answers that he was looking for
Imagine we get a event game Mode and you got to fight 5 ulted Winstons on lunar colony 😅
Hopefully the apes on the moon turn it into a clash map😅 lunar colony renovation
wait, ow2 has lore? I thought they scrapped that along with all the other promises they broke when they launched this game
Sure does! 8 new short stories this year!
