Overwatch Rumours Have Fans Certain A New Hero is On the Way
Overwatch is about to celebrate its one-year anniversary! This presents Blizzard with a perfect opportunity for a well-timed reveal, a way to ring in this first year with, say, a new hero? The Overwatch rumours are running high, with one redditor certain they’ve cracked the case.
According to Julian813, hidden updates to several Overwatch YouTube playlists is an indication that new information is on the way. Similarly, the Russian Overwatch YouTube page has three hidden updates on their “Cinematic Short,” Developer Update” and “Maps and Events” playlists. The lists in question were updated one day after their most recent uploads. Allegedly, this indicates that new content is being prepared in the aforementioned categories. This could mean anything from a new Hero to a new map.
Blizzard has tried this before, trying to sneak in videos of Orisa ahead of her official release. Previous Hero announcements have also followed this pattern, with Ana and Sombra also getting Cinematic Shorts and Developer Updates on Blizzard’s YouTube channel. The sources suggest that these events, in conjunction with the upcoming anniversary, point to a new hero being announced to the world. The ever-churning rumour mill is set on this next Hero (assuming one is being announced) to be Doomfist. How accurate will these rumours be? Thankfully, we won’t have too much longer to wait before the latest Overwatch mystery is solved.
