Just a few weeks after the debut of Overwatch animated short Rise and Shine, Blizzard has posted a brand new behind-the-scenes video.

In other Overwatch news, fans have taken to the forums to complain about not being awarded free Loot Boxes.

Blizzard will give players a free Loot Box for recording their first win in deathmatch.

Unfortunately, however, a bug seems to have stopped some players from receiving the reward.

Blizzard is said to be working on a fix, with some reports suggesting it has already solved the problem.

The news comes as Overwatch player Jay “sinatraa” Won reportedly signs a professional contract worth $150k a year.

Sinatraa, who is part of the North American Overwatch World Cup Team, is said to have signed with NRG Esports, according to ESPN.

In addition to his salary, the professional Overwatch player will be entitled to 50% of team bonuses.

You can watch him take part in the Overwatch World Cup in November.
