Overwatch YA Novel # 2 Revealed
A second Overwatch novel is scheduled for release in June 2021 and will focus on McCree and Ashe.
Players will be able to learn a more about the Overwatch lore. After several comic books and the novel “The Hero of Numbani” scheduled for early 2021, the release of a second novel has just been leaked by Amazon.
Unofficial Information
This information hasn’t been officialized by Blizzard. It’s necessary to wait for a press release from the publisher to really know the release date and the price of this new novel.
Centered on the creation of the Deadlock Gang and its key members (Ashe, B.O.B. and McCree) the novel will be released on June 1, 2021. Written by Lyndsay Ely, the author is already familiar with the western/science fiction genre as shown by her latest book entitled “Gunslinger Girl”.
In the years after the Omnic Crisis, the American Southwest is ruled by vultures looking to profit off the chaos. The West is ripe for the taking, and Elizabeth Caledonia Ashe intends to write her name across it.
When Ashe is arrested yet again on the morning of her high school graduation, her aloof, old-money parents decide to disinherit her from the family fortune. To steal back what’s rightfully hers, Ashe teams up with her omnic butler, B.O.B., and local ruffian Jesse McCree for a series of heists, catapulting the trio into a game of fast money and dangerous alliances. Along the way, Ashe discovers that family isn’t just about blood. It’s about the people who’ve got your back when your back’s against the wall.Lyndsay Ely on Overwatch Novel #2
