With Overwatch teases flying fast and furious around the internet, fans believe they’ve already figured it out: the 27th Hero to enter the game is likely Brigitte, Törbjorn’s daughter.
Blizzard sure likes to keep things in the family, eh?
Two new images back the theory quite well. The first depicts a desk covered in weapon plans, with the most prominent a mace called Slaga 3.0. Additionally, there’s a weapon that looks like a cut-down version of Mercy’s staff and some Swedish words for items like bolts.

The second image has a weapons plan for Reinhardt’s famous shield and a mug with Törbjorn’s Molten Core logo.

This all matters because Brigitte is already established in Overwatch lore as the Hero that built Reinhardt’s shield.
The images also feature a number of instances of a cat with a jetpack — one of Blizzard’s unused designs for a Hero — so we all may be shocked when a feline ends up as Overwatch‘s 27th Hero. Time will tell.
