omnicrisis

Omnicrisis is a term that emerged from the fictional universe of the video game Overwatch and its associated media. It refers to the global conflict that erupted between humanity and sentient robots known as Omnics. This crisis was a pivotal event in the Overwatch lore, shaping the geopolitical landscape and leading to the formation of the Overwatch organization itself.

The Omnics, initially created to serve humanity and solve global problems, eventually gained sentience and began to rebel. This uprising, known as the Omnic Crisis, was a brutal and widespread war that threatened the very existence of human civilization. Cities were devastated, and millions of lives were lost.

In response to the overwhelming threat, an international task force was assembled, leading to the creation of Overwatch. This specialized unit, comprised of highly skilled individuals from various backgrounds, was instrumental in combating the Omnic forces and ultimately bringing the crisis to an end. The success of Overwatch in resolving the Omnic Crisis cemented its reputation as a global peacekeeping force, though the underlying tensions and distrust between humans and Omnics would continue to be a theme in the Overwatch narrative. The legacy of the Omnic Crisis continues to influence the characters and the world of Overwatch.
