Now, for the first time in his life, Genji is free. He learned to accept that although he had a cyborg body, his human soul was intact, and he came to see his new form as a gift and a unique strength. In time, Zenyatta became his mentor, and under the monk's tutelage, Genji reconciled his dual existence as both man and machine. Though Genji initially rejected Zenyatta's wisdom, the benevolent omnic would not be deterred. He drifted for many years before crossing paths with the omnic monk Zenyatta. When his mission was complete, he abandoned Overwatch and wandered the world in search of meaning.
He was repulsed by the mechanical parts of his body and could not come to grips with what he had become. Transformed into a living weapon, Genji single-mindedly set about the task of dismantling his family's criminal empire.īut as time passed, Genji felt increasingly at war with himself. He was put through an extensive process of cyberization, which enhanced his natural speed and agility and augmented his superlative ninja skills.
As Genji's injuries left him clinging to life, Overwatch offered to rebuild his body in exchange for his help. The global force saw Genji as a potential asset in its ongoing operations to combat the Shimada clan. Hanzo believed that he had killed his brother, but Genji was rescued by Overwatch and the intervention of Dr. The tension between the brothers built to a violent confrontation that left Genji on the verge of dying. Following the clan leader's untimely death, Genji's older brother, Hanzo, demanded that Genji take a more active role in their late father's empire. Many within the clan considered the carefree Genji to be a dangerous liability, and they resented his father for coddling and protecting him. He had little interest in the family's illegal businesses, and although he excelled at and enjoyed his ninja training, he spent most of his time pursuing a playboy lifestyle. Interestingly, Blizzard absorbed Vicarious Visions just last week, meaning the developer will no longer work directly under Activision as one of its leading development subsidiaries.The cyborg Genji Shimada has made peace with the augmented body he once rejected, and in doing so, he has discovered a higher humanity.Īs the youngest son of the master of the Shimada ninja clan, Genji lived a life of luxury and privilege. Blizzard has yet another Diablo project in the works with Diablo 2's remake, which will reportedly be helmed by Diablo 4's crew and a team from THPS 1+2 studio, Vicarious Visions. Of course, it, too, is likely years out from release. Diablo 4's announcement also blew the roof off of BizzCon 2019. Overwatch 2 isn't the only highly-anticipated Blizzard title veiled in secrecy. Still, this will no doubt leave Overwatch faithful curious about when exactly the hero shooter's next outing will finally become available. It's not too surprising, then, that the Korean actor for one of the brand's key characters has yet to record their lines. If anything, Space's comments indicate Overwatch 2 is still a long way out from release, something game director Jeff Kaplan told fans in a December 2020 Developer Update.
