Blizzard has released the third in a series of Overwatch shorts intended to help us get to know the characters a bit better. This one focuses on Hanzo and Genji, two brothers of the Shimada clan with a tragic history.

While the nature of their dispute is not fully revealed, we learn that the two were once in conflict, with Genji thought dead. His reappearance forces Hanzo to rethink everything he knows.

Once again, Blizzard shows off its animation and story-telling prowess. For more, you can check out the first short starring Winston and the second featuring Widowmaker and Tracer. You can also read about other characters in a series of online mini-comics.

Overwatch will be out on May 24 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
