Overwatch 2 imagines a hopeful near-future Earth where it’s a world worth fighting for. Super soldiers, scientists, cyborgs, and robots called omnics battle it out in locations inspired by real places around the world. The game has 43 unique heroes, each with their own powerful abilities and weapons, and they fight across colorful maps where teamwork and quick thinking are key to winning.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing was one of the first Gundam shows to become really popular in the West. This fan-favorite series follows five teenage Gundam pilots in the year After Colony 195. It kicks off with “Operation Meteor,” where space colonies try to break free from the harsh rule of OZ and the Earth Sphere Alliance. With its deep, connected storylines, Gundam Wing captured hearts in the West with its mix of drama and intense robot battles. First airing 30 years ago in Japan, it’s still one of the most loved series in Gundam history.
