## Plot

Five years have past since the second game. The game begins with a cut scene of Angela "Mercy" Ziegler and her son Colby traveling to the US for their annual visit to the grave of Rhett "Devil Dog" Adamson. All of the members of Overwatch pay their respects and McCree leaves a fifth of whiskey and a cigar on the grave; Mercy and Colby both lay white roses. After they leave, a storm comes, and a man completely colored green and wielding a staff of wood approaches the grave. He says something is coming as he stabs his staff into the head stone.

Meanwhile, Overwatch get back to work, starting with the reinstatement of Captain Lucas "Sharpshot" Marklovsky, whom the player currently plays as. However, Watchpoint Gibraltar is attacked via a cyber virus, revealing itself as Black Gate, a murderous AI from the previous game. Black Gate attacks with a cadre of inhuman looking warriors. After killing the aliens, which are called Vypers, Black Gate warns Overwatch that he is coming, and, having deduced that it was pointless to resist (99.997% chance of failure) He opted to join with him. Before he departs, he orders the crew to stay out of their way. Lucas then says Black Gate knows they won't. Mercy asks the team what they're gonna do, and Lucas just says they are gonna need someone who knows what Black Gate was talking about.

Meanwhile, in the Realm of Spirits, the Elementals meet together for the situation. Lord Death, Elemental of Death, says that Earth will need to be protected, since Black Gate had kept them distracted. Hellfire says he might miss a few things, since he was tasked by Satan to bring the Jersey Devil back to Hell. Lord Death ponders if Tree Thing made the right move, which prompts Mother Earth to affirm that only he was capable of uniting earths heroes, since he knew what was coming. Graviso, Elemental of Gravity, says that Mother Earth is right as Overwatch will need all the help they can get. Eagle Person, Elemental of Wind, concludes the meeting, and goes to escort "the one" back to civilization along side Speedy Twister, Elemental of Speed, and Lightning Blast, Elemental of Storms.

Meanwhile, vengeful vigilante, The Marauder, sends an anonymous message to Overwatch, telling them that the criminals Scorpion, Rhinocerous, and Leaper were robbing a bank and holding hostages in Johannesburg, South Africa. Lucas, Sombra, Widowmaker, D.Va, Lucio, and Symmetra arrive, only to find out the message was from Marauder. The team reluctantly agrees to help him, as long as he doesn't kills anyone. In pursuit of the three thieves, the crew are attacked by more aliens, and they discover that Leaper could control Vypers.

On top of this, they are set upon by anarchists. Marauder quickly goes back on his promise, and shoots the Anarchist leader in the head, which sparks a riot. After fighting their way to an extraction point, they are surrounded by anarchists, but are rescued by a lone man wearing black police riot armor. After saving Lucas, he retreats, but Lucas picks up a brass casing from the assault rifle he was using, intent on finding out who the mystery warrior is. Reaper demands why Marauder went back on his promise, and Marauder tells him that Anarchists and Neo Nazis had a hand in his parents and older brother's murder, when he (Marauder) was only 10, and his baby sister was only a year old.

The crew is completely confused at this point, and discover that they are about to fight a war on two fronts; on the one hand, Black Gate and his mysterious benefactor had an alien army, and on the other, The Anarchist Collective led by Bernard Duval threatened to overthrow world governments. Mercy holds a press conference, attempting to cover up the alien invasion, but the press remains skeptical.

Pulling another operation against Black Gate, the crew encounter the Riot Armor man again, who interfaced Black Gate's mainframe. He flees which prompts Lucas to chase after him. He seems to be allied with the Vypers as they assist in his escape, but when Lucas caught up with him, the two are forced to help each other get to the evac site. The stranger says he cannot go with him, that there a few more loose ends to tighten. Before Tracer takes off, he tells Lucas to give him One Last Chance.

Overwatch begin recieving intelligence from an unknown source, feeding them information about the Anarchist Collective before being contacted directly by an unknown hacker. The Hacker, revealed to be The Stranger, informs them that at the present, Black Gate was the greater threat, but was being dealt with. Overwatch should focus on taking down the Collective so they can focus all their resources on Black Gate, because "The enemy at the gates does not care which side we are on."

Meanwhile, Winston approaches Lucas and tells him to meet him in private. In Lucas' room, Winston reveals that the finger prints on the bullet casing is that of a dead man; Rhett "Devil Dog" Adamson to be exact. Lucas, stunned, asks if he is certain. Winston affirms this. Still, not wanting to upset the rest of the crew, namely Mercy, Lucas asks Winston to keep this to themselves for now. He contacts his best friend, Lieutenant Marcos "Lightning Burn" Lopez, to help him find Devil Dog and bring him back to base. Roadhog asks Marauder how he made his armor so advanced, to which Marauder replies that he made it on the Predator home world, and is one of their allies.

After Fighting off an Alien assault on the EU, Lucas and Marcos are contacted by the stranger and told to come to the memorial too Alyssa "Midnight" Vansmith, who died in the events of the last game. Lucas and Marcos arrive and find Devil Dog giving his respects to his fallen comrade. Lucas demands to know what has happened and why he didn't rejoin Overwatch. Devil Dog tells them it is because he felt it was for the best.

Devil Dog informs the two that it is far worse than expected; Black Gate is not behind the Aliens, he is merely their monitor. The real enemy, Doomsday is coming to earth and intends to enslave or destroy the entire population. Lucas, angry that Devil Dog withheld this information until now, calls him a coward. Devil Dog retorts that he is not going to let his son die without him knowing the truth. Just as Lucas tries to ask him to come quietly so that he could meet his son, a war tomahawk slices Devil Dog's arm. Marcos pulls him to safety, while Lucas grabs another oncoming war tomahawk and puts it in the ground. Lucas' older brother, now an old man, steps out of the shadows, and in a glum way, expresses his joy for seeing his brother again. Lucas and his brother get into a fight, which ends with Lucas badly injuring Captain Tomahawk. Lucas tearfully puts his brother out of his misery by stabbing him in the heart with his combat knife.

After patching Devil Dog up, Devil Dog asks how Lucas knew the legendary anti-government activist. Lucas explains that Tomahawk was his older brother, and assumed he had changed his ways after his (Lucas) disappearance. Lucas then asks him kindly to come back with them, as they need his intel and they don't wanna go in halfcocked and blindly fight an enemy they know nothing about. Devil Dog considers it before agreeing. They get in the helicopter and fly off, not noticing they are being followed by a Predator.

When they get back, they find out that the mysterious box-looking device Winston was studying had gone active and more aliens poured through. Only this time, they were accompanied by a Xenomorph.

Back at Gibraltar, Devil Dog walks into Mercy's lab, scaring her terribly. Unsure if he is even human, she becomes infuriated and violently forces him out before breaking down into tears. A cut scene of a flash back ensues of the day Devil Dog died, revealing their private conversation. While sealed in Dethshrid's reactor room, Mercy comes to try and help Devil Dog but he refuses, since he could not risk radiation poisoning to the Korean Peninsula. Devastated at the inevitable, she reveals to Devil Dog that she is pregnant with his child. They agree, if it is a boy, to name him Colby after Devil Dog's brother. After he had died, Mercy fell into a horrible state of depression and almost committed suicide. The prospect of motherhood stopped her, however, as killing herself would also kill her innocent child, which she could not do. After she gives birth, she names her son Colby Rhett Ziegler. In the present, Mercy cries that she already buried Devil Dog, and had no will to do it again. The alarm sounds off, and Winston shouts on the PA system that another attack is happening within the base. The base becomes overrun with the Aliens, with their Xenomorph ally. As the Xenomorph tries to get Colby, Marauder leads it away. Marauder manages to corner himself so he can fight the Xenomorph alone, with the knowhow on how to kill it. After the Xenomorph rips off his robotic arm with its tail. Just as it is about to kill him, the Predator that had followed Lucas, Marcos, and Devil Dog pulls it off of him, and helps him up, before going to fight the Xenomorph by itself. As the Predator and Xenomorph fight, they break through a wall. The Xenomorph makes another attempt at getting Colby, but Marauder launches a net at it. He tells his Predator comrade to get Colby out of the base. The Predator hands him its self destruct device should the Aliens and Xenomorph overwhelm him. All Overwatch agents wait for Marauder outside Gibraltor. Just as Devil Dog is about to head into the building for him, the Predator runs out, carrying Colby, and hands him to Devil Dog. Meanwhile, the Xenomorph stabs Marauder in the chest with its tail blade. Before it can lead the Alien outside, Marauder grabs its tail with his feet and says "See you and your pals in Hell, freak." He activates the Self Destruct device the Predator gave to him, killing him, the Xenomorph, and the Aliens, but destroying Gibraltor in the process.

Later, Overwatch holds a funeral for Marauder. Lucas delivers a heartfelt euology, motivating Overwatch to defeat Doomsday's coming invasion. Lucas, Marcos, and Devil Dog figure out where there are more Father Boxes. They discover there are more in New York City (or as Lucas and Marcos like to call it, New New York City). Lucas orders the team to be split up into smaller teams where Father Boxes are more numerous. Marcos then says they'll use New York City as their Alamo, where they'll make their final stand if all else fails. Before they leave, Lucas admits his feelings for D.Va to Devil Dog. Devil Dog promises not to tell her if they survive so Lucas could tell her himself. Lucas leads a team consisting of himself, Marcos, Devil Dog, Mercy, D.Va, and the Predator (whose name is D'Kun-Juh), to New York City to evacuate it.

The invasion then begins as Lucas leads his team in defending New York City. As some Aliens begin to overpower D.Va, Lucas comes to her rescue. D.Va thanks him. A Xenomorph tries to kill him, but the Predator catches it and kills it with it's plasmacaster. They fight off as many Aliens and Xenomorphs as they can, before the other teams call in, telling them that the defense of their assigned areas has failed and they're on the way to New York City. As they arrive, Doomsday comes through a portal and Overwatch confronts him. He overpowers them and fires his Alpha Beams at Tracer and Devil Dog. However, some aliens and a Xenomorph king capture Devil Dog, which is witnessed by Tracer. She informs the others of this, Mercy asks what the plan is. Lucas tells those who were not on his defense team, to keep Doomsday busy while he and his defense team rescue Devil Dog. He then tells them that they will regroup when they get him so they can think of a better plan. After rescuing Devil Dog, the team falls back.

After retreating, they find that former Talon operatives, Masquerade and Archangel, were willing to join them. Overwatch decides to slowly assault Doomsday on all sides. As Devil Dog drives the Overwatch Mobile into battle, several aliens start crowding the vehicle, threatening to end him. However, a large burst of fire bursts out of the ground, and Hellfire gets them off the vehicle saying, "Surprise, mother hubbers!" He then shouts an excited "yeah!" at the action. The other Elementals join in the fight. They all then attack Doomsday as one. Doomsday then threatens to blow up the city, but Masquerade sacrifices himself to save the city. Viewing his act of bravery, the mysterious neutral hero, Doctor Time, reverses it and traps Doomsday and sends him back to his own world.

A few days later, New York and everywhere else is being rebuilt. Reaper orchestrates the construction of the new Overwatch base in space, called Watchpoint: Justice, while Winston meets with Marauder's younger sister. He asks her why she is joining Nightwatch, to which she replies that while she won't take up her brother's mantle, she will take up his mission to kill those who murdered her oldest brother and parents. We then see Marcos looking at a picture of the original Nightwatch team sadly, before Lucas interrupts him, asking him if he is ready. Marcos then shows him a list of the people who would be Overwatch's new black ops team, a newer version of the Nightwatch black ops team. Lucas says not all of them have experience in black ops related missions, but Marcos just replies that they will whip them into shape. They enter and we meet the new Nightwatch black ops team. The team consists of Devil Dog, Mercy, D.Va, D'Kun-Juh, Ice Warrior (Marauder's sister), Masquerade, and Archangel. After Lucas and Marcos look at each other, Lucas says, "Nightwatch...!" It then transistions over to Soldier: 76 helping to clean up Texas State Asylum after it was damaged in the invasion before Lucas can say "ten-hut". The Asylum warden tells him that Doomfist and the Flash Raiders escaped. It is later revealed that Doomfist and the Flash Raiders are meeting with someone on a yacht. The person is revealed to be the mercenary, Deathshot. Doomfist tells him and the Flash Raiders they may have to assemble their own Overwatch.

In a mid-credits scene, the Elementals offer Doctor Time a chance to be the new Elemental of Time, which he denies kindly. He then offers them to come to dinner, as his assistant was cooking tonight. All but Mother Earth decline. In a post-credits scene, an alternate version of Soldier: 76 kills The Jackal in cold blood as an alternate version of Reaper watches in horror.
