After the paramilitary organization known as Talon launches an attack on an Overwatch facility, the peacekeeping force is unable to respond. But Blackwatch, Overwatchās secretive strike force, plays by its own rules. Travel eight years into the past and join Blackwatch as they seek to capture a high-ranking member of the Talon organization. Fight in the streets of Venice as Genji, Moira, McCree, or Reyes (later known as Reaper) to complete the mission in Story Mode. In All Heroes Mode, bring the hero of your choice into the field.
But take care, because Talon will do everything in its power to protect its leaders. Their best assassins, snipers, and heavy soldiers will storm in by ground, air, and sea, stopping at nothing less than the eradication of the Blackwatch team.
