Overwatch: New PTR files hint that Doomfist is coming

Clever Redditors have found new files in Overwatch‘s Public Test Region (PTR) that seem to suggest new Hero Doomfist is closer than we may think.

First, users have found new wire mech files which show the glass surrounding the Numbani Payload — containing Doomfist’s gauntlet — as broken.

Moreover, there’s also a new sound file for the PTR menu: Doomfist’s theme. Coincidence? We think not.

Blizzard hasn’t detailed Doomfist’s entrance to the popular shooter, though fans are keen to have the character played by Terry Crews. We’ll keep you posted.

Overwatch is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
