Overwatch's final animated short shows off Soldier 76

Blizzard has drawn a lot of eyeballs for its upcoming MOBA-like shooter, Overwatch, by releasing animated short films for all of its major characters. The latest in the 'season' is for Soldier 76, one of the more straight forward assault-like characters in the game.

Showcasing the same high-level of animation quality as the other in the series, Soldier 76's introduction to the world showcases his ability to shoot, brawl and avoid fire through a number of special skills.

Among the more outlandish characters that make their presence known in Overwatch, Soldier 76 is much more typical of your average super soldier. He's got a gravelly voice, close cut hair and a stoic attitude, but that doesn't mean he won't be fun to play.

Overwatch is set to hit PC, Xbox One and PS4 on May 24. Did you play in the beta? If so, what did you think?
