Sigma Origin Story | Overwatch

Peek inside the mind of an eccentric astrophysicist who hopes to unlock the secrets of the universe, unaware he’s been turning into a living weapon: Introducing Sigma.

honestly giant props to the voice actor his voice literally gave me chills

[xomwcjl]

My entire career had been devoted to this idea to this moment ....decades
Echo:Copy his ult in second
Sigma:

[poopyjoe]

Most sane tank player after 1 game of comp

[RedTunaRoll]

It’s literally a crime that Sigma’s lore is not explored beyond this.

[NoKeyzNoLife]

When Lucio said “Give yourself to the rhythm!” I don’t think he meant this.

[thatguy]

It sorta makes sense how a stun stops his ult, like hes getting snapped back to reality

[antinancoofmagicant]

"I will bring you a new understanding of-- VIOLENCE."

The coldest line I've ever heard. It still sends shivers down my spine, hearing this.

[unwornseal]

0:30 the sheer terror and confusion in his voice is kind of spine chilling. It sounds so real. And it really makes you feel bad for him. Sigma definitely has one of the best if not THE best voices in the game. Which is saying something in a game full of phenomenal voice acting. Massive kudos to Boris Hiestand.

[shadowstar]

And then you realize he's surprisingly one of the nicest characters in the interactions department.

[gregtestagent]

Really do wish he’d talk like this in game. Three tones of voice coming in and out, backwards lines of monologue, three voices speaking at once.

[scellytoon]

Sigma is the only other charachter apart from bastion that I have ever felt sorry for, he is the victim of his own genius and is truly one of the most interesting heros

[rainy]

"It's too much to hold on to."

Such an insanely well delivered line. I like to think that this was the last sane thought Sigma had. A final, all encompassing realisation that everything is about to go catastrophically wrong.

And there's nothing he can do to change that.

[jeffgiraffe]

"Gravity is a harness.
I Have Harnessed The Harness."

I love that line

[cursedaegg]

This guy makes junkrat seem like a normal person.

[BlueLemonsXX]

Sigma yelling "Release me" when nano'd in OW2. Perfection. Chills every game it happens

[Understandable]

Keep coming back here every time. How they created such a rich, unique character and just abandoned his potential is mind-boggling. He’s likely one of the most well-known heroes at this point and they literally only have this video that sheds light on his past.

Sigma in lore: “I will show you a new understanding of VIOLENCE....” Sigma in game: “Dr. Zhou. I've read your work; it's brilliant. :)) “

[Composure_Official]

1:12 "the universe is singing to me" then smiles for a split second. Whoa.

[ahumanoidtroodon]

This is lovecraftian horror. In a toned down way of course, but it is still cosmic horror.

The story of the explorer, the valiant and brave, pushing the boundaries of knowledge, understanding, reality. The story of the one that pushed too far. Pushing out of it. On the other side of understanding, being able to know and think and feel in ways the brain is far too primitive for. And then returning back from the void. Back to what is known, but still remembering. Not remembering how you thought, why you thought, how you felt, but remembering only that there is something *more*

[thegreatbirdman]

1:03 is probably my favorite part by far, it shows how quickly he changed from a calm collected composer of a scientist, to a confused, afraid, and very dangerous being not of this world anymore. Siebren de Kuiper died when coming into a black hole, Sigma is all that he is now.
