Overwatch’s next hero has already been teased, says Blizzard

Blizzard has already teased Overwatch‘s next Hero, Jeff Kaplan has advised.

“One of the things our fans are always curious to hear about is why we tease some heroes way earlier and why with some heroes they just kinda come out and surprise us,” Kaplan recently told PCGamesN.

“I think Moira was more in that ‘surprise everybody’ category. We were trying to subtly hint at her: she was in the Doomfist comic, and seeing how fans had glommed onto everything back in the Sombra ARG days, they literally picked apart everything, so we thought they would pick up on that a lot more.”

Moira’s the shooter’s most recent addition, joining the ranks last month.

“Let’s just leave it at that,” Kaplan said, beginning this new tease.

A surprise that has perhaps been hinted at,” he said, coyly.

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