The line comes from Overwatch, Blizzard's team-based hero shooter released in 2016. It is the ultimate callout for the revolver-wielding gunslinger originally named McCree, voiced by Matthew Mercer, who was renamed Cole Cassidy in 2021. Spoken when activating his Deadeye ability, the phrase quickly became one of the most quoted voice lines in gaming, spawning montages, remixes and memes far beyond the Overwatch community. A decade on, it remains shorthand for an incoming unstoppable play.

McCree's 'It's high noon' ultimate voice line from Overwatch, shouted as Deadeye locks on. A legendary FPS callout used in gaming memes, montages and edits.
This is the unmistakable voice line of Cole Cassidy, formerly known as McCree, the gunslinger hero from Overwatch, announcing his Deadeye ultimate ability. Delivered in a slow, menacing Western drawl by voice actor Matt Mercer, the phrase 'It's high noon' rings out across the map as a glowing tumbleweed of warning, followed by a rapid volley of revolver shots. The line instantly raises the tension for everyone who hears it, enemies scramble for cover while teammates push forward, and even outside the game it carries that cinematic standoff energy of a duel at sundown.
