Since the topic has come up again, I’d like to do a brief-ish recap of the main locations listed on the map found in Jack’s office in the background of the “Uprising” comic. Blue dots appear to represent “active situations” or investigations by Overwatch.  The dots turn red when the investigation becomes an actual mission itself.

You can find another post on this from April 2018.

This is the Overwatch “mission map” that is present in the background of the Uprising comic.  These are “ongoing missions”.  They include:

A mission in Tokyo, Japan: likely the investigation of the Shimada clan

A mission in Nigeria: likely the investigation into Doomfist (Akande) following his fight with Akinjide

A mission in Cairo or Giza, Egypt: this mission is unknown but may be related to the Anubis AI confinement, or the “Overwatch official murdered” in a “Cairo incident.”

A mission in Rio de Janeiro: an unknown mission but could be related to activities that facilitate Vishkar’s work there in the future, or could be related to the revelation that Lúcio’s father made the sonic tech that Vishkar uses. This may be tech that the Talon Assassin utilizes.

A mission in Dorado, Mexico: may be related to Los Muertos or the beginning foundation of LumériCo, which Jack Morrison is actively investigating in the present-day (as Soldier: 76).

Special situations:

A mission in London, UK: this is Null Sector’s hostile takeover of London 

And:

And lastly

A mission in Switzerland.

This might be Overwatch’s investigation of itself, following the suspension of Blackwatch after the Venice mission (Retribution).  If you have read my other posts on this topic, you know that I believe the suspension was actually embraced by Gabriel Reyes because he was trying to figure out which Blackwatch agents were double-agents working for Talon (he appears to believe that Moira is one of them).

Again (because this always comes up), the blue dot in the area of Switzerland/France is NOT Chateau Guillard.  Amélie did not live there.  She lived in Paris as a ballet dancer.  In fact, she did not purchase the estate until “very recently”, likely after Recall and Masquerade.

So...this is intentional, right? I’m not saying they’re 1:1 but they are suspiciously similar?

The “Tutorial” mode in Overwatch takes place somewhere in Watchpoint: Gibraltar - you can see “WP-GB” on different things, as well as the ocean/sea near the end.  An Aurora ship is ready in the docking bay. In the shooting range, you can find Pharah’s rocket launcher, Tracer’s pistols, and Winston’s cannon, which are some sweet little details. This is different from the Practice Range, which is pretty frozen and desolate aside from the training bots.  The Practice Range is nearly identical to the “Training Facility” in the Swiss Base (in the Uprising comic), but whether that implies that the Practice Range IS part of the Swiss Base, or if all the training facilities are effectively the same at every Watchpoint, we don’t know.

I considered another possible theory for Reaper. Before, I said he might have become that way from dying on a Black watch mission, but if you look on the Reaper basic skin, he has pale arms. His Blackwatch skin has what his normal skin color is supposed to be. What if Talon did that to him? Maybe they found his body in the wreckage of the old Overwatch base that was blown up. They already turned Widowmaker blue and devoid of emotions. It would also explain how the "Reaper" was seen for decades, Gabriel Reyes might not be the only Reaper, or the original one.
