Mei = bae

Our cup runneth over! That in-engine Junker short, fun as it was, wasn’t the last of the Overwatch fun this month. Because today, Blizzard released a new cinematic short: Rise and Shine.

Overwatch Rise and Shine - 1 — **Why is this frost demon so cute?** Blizzard

It details what happened to Mei that time she was frozen for 9 years and all of her friends died. I’m sorry, that’s really reductive of me. Especially since the short has a lot of emotional engagement. I’m just salty because I frequently get assassi-Mei-ted.

Overwatch Rise and Shine - 2 — **Probably a lot nestled into this part. Also, datass.jpg** Blizzard

Overwatch Rise and Shine - 3 — **You know, her horror here is kinda diminished by the number of times I’ve been frozen solid and icicled in the face to death.** Blizzard

That all said? Overwatch’s cinematic shorts could easily give some of the big studios a run for their money when it comes to 3D animation. I’ll just say it; this is the best 3D animated anything this month.

Overwatch Rise and Shine - 5 — **Murky mug! Shaped mugs are always a pain to clean. I don’t know why I brought that up.** Blizzard

Overwatch Rise and Shine - 4 revised — **Watch as she builds the instrument of your torment.** Blizzard
