Those waiting for an Overwatch boy band might see their dream fulfilled soon. Five male heroes can sing in the game.
Time and again, the developers of Overwatch hide many small details in their patches. These Easter eggs are sometimes only discovered weeks or months later, but this time it happened quickly. On the map Busan, there are new interactions for the heroes Genji and Zenyatta, who can now try their hand at singing.
Where do they sing? One of the spawn rooms on Busan is a karaoke bar, like the thousands found in South Korea. A few of the characters can actually step up to the microphone and start singing a few lines after a few seconds. With the patch currently on the PTR, Genji and Zenyatta follow suit.
Genji is hard to understand and probably only something for native Japanese speakers. Aside from his request for everyone to sing and dance, only Japanese is understandable.
Zenyatta, on the other hand, has not only become one with the iris but also one with the groove:
These heroes also sing: Genji and Zenyatta are not the only heroes who can sing a tune. In previous patches, Reinhardt had already sung a bit, and shortly after, McCree and Torbjörn followed.
Torbjörn sings with full enthusiasm about his turret and the molten core:
McCree only gives out a few lines and sounds more like he doesn’t know the lyrics very well. But that doesn’t matter because, according to his own words, he is more into country music.
Fans are still eagerly waiting for a few female characters to finally start singing. Expectations for future patches are therefore high…
What do you think of these little Easter eggs in the karaoke bar? A cool detail in the game? Or does it make the Overwatch heroes seem silly?
