Talon Event Teaser Breakdown
The hype kicked off with a mysterious Talon symbol post, hinting at connections to ongoing or historical lore beats.
It escalated on December 29 with stunning new artwork showcasing a rogue’s gallery of Talon affiliates: Doomfist, Widowmaker, Sombra, the omnic Maximilien, Moira, Augusto Vialli, Mauga, Baptiste, Sigma, Gabriel Reyes (pre-Reaper), Reaper himself, and the newly introduced Vendetta.
Key vignettes include:
- Doomfist, Widowmaker, Sombra, and Maximilien plotting in a lavish casino.
- Mauga and Baptiste on a battlefield, just before Baptiste’s defection.
- Moira captured on security footage.
- Sigma in a high tech lab.
- Augusto Vialli in a tense meeting room.
- Young Gabriel Reyes shaking hands with an unseen figure.
- Vendetta amid the Colosseo ruins.
Spotlight on Talon’s Key Players
Doomfist leads the current Talon roster in Overwatch 2, backed by playable members Moira, Reaper, Widowmaker, Sombra, Mauga, and Sigma. Baptiste is a notable ex-member, while Vendetta carries deep ties from recent Vendetta comic lore.
Non playable standouts like Maximilien a fan-favorite omnic glimpsed in his Vault, and Augusto Vialli add intrigue. Vialli, alongside Doomfist, stripped Vendetta’s family empire, as detailed by senior narrative designer Jude Stacey: “She’d done everything she could, but Vialli and Doomfist they stepped in and just everything she had was suddenly gone.”
