Last year with the release of Uprising we all got our first taste of story-based co-op Overwatch content. That being a PvE mission where players took on the role of specific Overwatch heroes in a historical battle that took place in London. And now with the introduction of Overwatch Archives, the second historical mission is set to drop next week. And it looks, well, awesome.

Taking place in a new location, Rialto (Venice, Italy) players will get to relive a critical Blackwatch mission as McCree, Moira, Genji, and Reyes take on Talon forces. And that's Reyes as in before he became Reaper.



Now, as it looks like the above trailer was created using in-engine assets this is definitely the most cinematic Overwatch has looked in a while. And it looks great, especially with what look like Talon forces that haven't been seen in-game before. If the new Overwatch Archives event means more co-op missions like Uprising and now Retribution, fans looking for more Overwatch story will be in for a treat.

Also, Retribution will see the addition of over 160 new cosmetic items - including what we assume will be some cool new skins. We'll have more on Retribution next week when the event goes live from 11 April – 1 May AEST/NZST on PC, Xbox One and PS4.
