Overwatch already has a diverse and amazingly detailed lineup of heroes. But if recent posts are anything to go by, another hero could be coming soon.
The picture above was posted on the official Twitter account for Overwatch. The tweet said thus:
“[ARCHIVE] Communications Records of Ziegler, A. – Overwatch File 00231 – Security Classification: CONFIDENTIAL”
The chatter in the picture is between Mercy, Solider: 76, and Reaper, who are talking about a medical sniper rifle that was created by Torbjorn. Mercy is worried about the gun being used for non-medical purposes.
There have been rumors about a new hero coming in form of Sombra. A character hinted by designer Jeff Kaplan, who states that there are plenty of clues about who Sombra is in the game, and that players haven’t found them all yet.
Could this medical sniper rifle be another clue to who or what Sombra is? We’ll find out.
I love the little teases and the gun diagram looks pretty cool, can't wait to see what the new hero looks like and what he/she can do.
I'm super excited for the new hero. Especially given it's suppose to be another support hero, which are my favorite type of heroes to play in the game.
In games like this one new heroes interest me the most so I'm excited to see what the new one will look like and what they can do. I wish they could just churn these out constantly in quick succession to be honest.
