Now, Widowmaker is Talon's most effective assassin, feeling little save the satisfaction of a job well done."In Overwatch 2, players will take on the roles of the world's heroes in cooperative missions that challenge them to team up, power up, and stand together against an overwhelming outbreak of threats around the globe," reads an official pitch of the game. She was given extensive training in the covert arts, and then her physiology was altered, drastically slowing her heart, which turned her skin cold and blue and numbed her ability to experience human emotion. Her mission complete, Amélie returned to Talon, and they completed the process of turning her into a living weapon.

Two weeks later she killed Gérard in his sleep. She was eventually found by Overwatch agents, apparently none the worse for wear, and returned to her normal life.

They broke her will, suppressed her personality, and reprogrammed her as a sleeper agent. Widowmaker equips herself with whatever it takes to eliminate her targets, including mines that dispense poisonous gas, a visor that grants her squad.

Talon operatives kidnapped her and subjected her to an intense program of neural reconditioning. After several unsuccessful attempts to eliminate Gérard, Talon decided to change its focus to his wife, Amélie.

Widowmaker is a playable character appearing in the 2016 video game Overwatch, developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment.
