So, is this going to be another "recon mission gone wrong" archives thingamagig featuring Max this time around?
It's kinda funny in a way, I imagine blizzard looking at the community who meme about how Talon always mess up and fails their mission (whatswith reaper attack of winston laboratory & the infiltration short of sombra) and saying "T TALON IS THREATENING ALRIGHT THEY ARE VERY BAD, HERE LOOK AT OVERWATCH MESSING UP EVERYTHING TOO" by giving us archive that show overwatch.. messing up and failing their
mission.
The whole lore of Overwatch and Talon is a failure, and I do not know if it's because of the game comedic, light-hearted nature (haha look at those idiot messing up, reaper getting punched by the mecha in volskaya
lol look at reinhardt fucking up a stealth mission it's funny because in game he is loud and charge into fight), or if it's simply because blizzard has no imagination when it come to making interesting twist..
Anyhow, Maximilian involvement make me think that he is actually the CEO of the private company that bought Don Rumbotico.
It sort of feels like it'll be post-reform. Haven't we seen Maximilian in the present? I'm hoping they didn't go lazy mode and just go "oh no, he got out. oopsy woopsy. end of mission"
ehh they probably did just that
This is set after Uprising, and we have seen Max in the doomfist comic.
So yeah, he's definitely getting away.
The Archives website got updated: Archives
We'll be getting
9 skins
3 intros
+ god knows how many sprays/player icons
Whoever does the writing for any lore at Blizzard for OW, Feels like he's never watched a movie or read a book. :|

Those icons are different, which could confirm some skins...I see Talon Baptiste, Young McCree(?), Butler Bob and an Omnic?

Hope that means we're getting something for D.Va.
A pure machine variant of D.Va would be a welcome addition to her skins, an omnic instead of human pilot would be a cool if a bit weird. Though in all honesty if it is like those from her short it will probably be a D.Va based on the design with a suit to match it.
Wonder if there'll be a tracer skin outside the Cadet Oxton skin
So Maximilian is just going to be an NPC? That really sucks, an evil omnic would've been fun and would stand out from the roster.
Aww yeah baby let me slip into you until you practically explode.
Sorry
That's not going to stop Oizen from having lewd thought about the poor girl.
Anyhow, your skin idea is very interesting. I always thought Blizzard should do more for skins than what they currently do, something on the level of paladins where it changes the effect and voicepack is really nice.
Deadlock gang Mcree and either an odd shaped helmet or an Omnic head. A Bastion based Talon unit/skin perhaps?
Also wonder if Genji will get a new skin along with Winston or will they just reuse last years.
That was my first thought as well, enemies or mini-bosses you will encounter during the mission.
But digging through the timeline, I'm not sure how to line things up.
Heavily simplified:
McCree was part of the Deadlock Gang in the good old days
Recruited by Blackwatch
Rialto incident during Retribution Event
King's Row during Uprising Event
Downfall of Overwatch
Present Day
The first trailer posted on Twitter mentioned how Tracer has grown since the "King's Row Mission" so this is happening after Uprising.
And Soldier:76 is still addressed as Commander Morrison, so Overwatch hasn't fallen yet.
Which places this event between 4 and 5.
So McCree should still be an Overwatch/Blackwatch member at this point.

9 skins - 9 days until the event.
If Maximilian is not going to be a hero, at least make him a skin for Zenyatta. I´d love for an evil omnic to ascend to some sort of dark version of the whole transcendence/Iris thing.
I want her Jacket + Hat skin with the unpainted meka from the short.

eww, what wasted potential for a junkrat skin
I think it look cool. A straightforward, clown, Junkrat skin. Wish it was legendary, but eh, probably would have been too much like Jester.
I dont know why the hell you guys are down voting me for
its an ARCHIVES skin
if this was an anniversairy skin then yah sure fine its what ever but for archives we get stuff from the characters past like talon baptiste
so this junkrat skin is out of place as fuck
we should have atleast gotten a skin where junkrat still had its original arm and leg
at this point why even complain about it but jesus christ you couldve literally chosen any other color other than neon fucking blue and this awkward purple-ish shit
When you're enjoying a Total Mayhem game and it's all ruined because someone on the other team went Doomfist. =/
How you MFs look when you expect lore updates and good content from the Overwatch team
This isn't REDDIT.
we're not "down voting" you, we're either disagreeing with your statement or expressing dislike of what you posted.
no guys see since this is an archives skin it's actually a look into his deep and intricate past, a part of his thick lore
Where he was a funy clown honk honk
Could be that they disagree with the link itself (although that is more often used in OPs in the polidicks or sensationalist new subsections).
