Overwatch Soldier 76 confirmed gay so I guess we’re all gay now

First Tracer, now Soldier 76. In case you haven’t noticed, Overwatch likes to flesh out its heroes with short stories and cinematics, insisting that there’s more to the game than just running around and shooting each other. Well, in the latest short story, Bastet, it turns out there’s a pretty good reason why Soldier 76 is such a grumpy grandad.

Bastet follows Ana, in Egypt, post destruction of the Swiss Overwatch headquarters. There, she encounters Jack “Soldier 76” Morrison and the reminiscing ensues. What’s got the internet all aflutter is on page 12, when Ana finds an old photo of Jack and ex-boyfriend, Vincent. Yes. Boyfriend. Specifically, the boy he gave up in order to keep fighting in the war.


So there you go, you’d probably be a bit surly too if you chose war over love. Anyway, it’s canon now, deal with it. The internet certainly is:
