History ShoutOut / Overwatch

* One of her unlockable voice lines is "You have to let it go," referencing the break-out song from ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''.

* D.Va's "Officer" skin redesigns her mecha to look similar to the [[Film/Robocop1987 ED-209]]. In addition, her officer outfit, combined with her [[AnimalMotifs rabbit motif]], hearkens to [[Disney/{{Zootopia}} Officer Judy Hopps]]. It helps that her officer spray is in the exact same pose as Judy from the promo materials.

* Another one of her unlockable voicelines is [[Disney/BigHero6 "Are you satisfied with your protection?"]]

* Hammond's character design was specifically influenced by other hamsters in western and eastern media. Blizzard's artists list ''Anime/{{Hamtaro}}'' by name, as well as the hamsters that show up in ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' and ''Disney/{{Bolt}}''

* One of his Halloween voice lines is [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar "You are already dead."]]

* In the Route 66 attack spawn room, there's a comic on the counter named [[VideoGame/StarCraft Craft from the Stars]] with illustrations of a Terran Marine, a Protoss, and Kerrigan. There's also an advertisement for [[VideoGame/{{Diablo}} Diableaux]] hot sauce that's "hot as the burning hells", and a check signed by Deckard Cain that's dated for Diablo III's original release date. One shop has several signs informing you that they sell [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill "Propane and]] [[VideoGame/StarCraftI Propane Accessories."]]

** Unlike the repetitive one liners in PvP multiplayer, ''Retribution'' features full fledged conversations and banter which are different in every playthrough, often revealing pieces of backstory, not unlike L4D.

** The [[HoldTheLine Hold The Line]] moment at the end is reminiscent of traditional ''Left 4 Dead'' end of campaign finales. Both require you to call for help, defeat several waves of enemies until a specific point has been reached, where the evacuation vehicle arrives. The A.I./script (in Overwatch’s case) throws everything they have at the players. A patch even changed it so that the rescue vehicle departs if any of the players make it onto the dropship even as others are incapacitated/killed.

** The Heavy Assault is literally a high health Charger with guns, minus the pinning ability.
