What is that melody?

Blizzard have released anOverwatchalbum, so now you can bop along to your favourite in-game tunes even when you’re not playing.Overwatch: Cities And Countries is a collection of soundtracks from the game, all based on the global locations of its maps. You know when you first load into a match, and it plays that short riff of music symbolic of the setting? These are basically just the full versions of those, and they’re actually really good.

Overwatch: Cities And Countries is being released on several streaming platforms throughout various regions today - though so far I’ve only seen it onSpotifyandYouTube. Blizzard are a bit vague as to where else it’ll pop up, but say to keep an eye onthisfor info.

Overwatch is never a game I think of when I’m looking for game soundtracks to have on in the background, but listening to this it’s just dawned on me how good the OST really is. Have a listen to my personal favourite, from the South Korean city of Busan:
