WEBTOON Entertainment and Blizzard Entertainment announced a new content partnership, launching an original webcomic set in the Overwatch universe. Titled Overwatch: Undivided, the series is now available exclusively on WEBTOON’s English-language platform, with additional language versions planned for Korean, Japanese, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Thai, Indonesian, and Traditional Chinese in the near future.
The webcomic expands on the ongoing Overwatch narrative by focusing on character-driven storytelling while depicting large-scale conflicts across the world. It is set directly after Talon’s devastating strike on Watchpoint: Gibraltar and follows the heroes as they struggle to regroup and respond to Vendetta’s continued attacks on research facilities, military bases, and major cities.
The official synopsis reads:
“In the aftermath of Talon’s strike on Watchpoint: Gibraltar, the heroes of Overwatch take in their devastating defeat. But Vendetta is far from finished, launching attacks around the world on research facilities, military bases, and major cities. As Sojourn rallies the weary heroes to face Talon wherever they strike, she receives crushing news that calls everything she’s stood for into question: When the world says it doesn’t need heroes, can Overwatch still stand, undivided?”
The series is planned to run for a total of 40 episodes, giving it significant scope to explore both personal character arcs and the broader global conflict within the Overwatch lore.
WEBTOON has become one of the leading platforms for digital comics and webtoons worldwide, known for its vertical scrolling format and strong focus on character-driven stories. Partnering with Blizzard allows the platform to bring the rich Overwatch universe to a new format that emphasizes emotional depth and serialized storytelling, which aligns perfectly with WEBTOON’s strengths.
For Blizzard, this collaboration represents another step in expanding the Overwatch franchise beyond games and into different media. The webcomic format offers the opportunity to delve deeper into character backstories, motivations, and relationships that may not receive as much focus in the main game’s cinematic or gameplay content.
Sojourn, already a prominent figure in recent Overwatch lore, appears to play a central role in the story as she attempts to hold the team together amid growing doubt about the need for heroes. The mention of “crushing news” that challenges her beliefs suggests the narrative will tackle heavy themes of purpose, leadership, and the cost of continued fighting.
With 40 episodes planned, Overwatch: Undivided has the space to deliver a substantial story arc rather than a short promotional tie-in. Readers can look forward to seeing familiar heroes in new situations, exploring the consequences of Talon’s recent victories, and witnessing how the team copes with internal divisions while facing external threats.
The vertical-scroll webtoon format should allow for dynamic action sequences and expressive character moments, making full use of the medium’s strengths. The involvement of Blizzard’s creative team ensures the story remains consistent with the established Overwatch canon while offering fresh perspectives on the universe.
The series is available now on WEBTOON’s English platform, with new episodes expected to release on a regular schedule. As additional language versions roll out, the webcomic will become accessible to an even wider global audience.
This partnership marks a significant expansion for the Overwatch franchise into serialized digital comics. It also highlights WEBTOON’s growing role as a destination for major gaming IPs looking to tell deeper, character-focused stories outside of their primary game formats.
Fans of Overwatch who have followed the lore through cinematics, comics, and in-game events will find plenty to enjoy in Overwatch: Undivided, while new readers can use the series as an entry point into the universe’s rich narrative.
With 40 episodes planned, the webcomic has the potential to become one of the most substantial storytelling projects in the Overwatch franchise to date. Readers can begin the series immediately on WEBTOON and look forward to weekly or bi-weekly updates as the story unfolds.
