With a declassified mission report on Operation “White Dome,” Blizzard could announce the new Overwatch hero “Emre Sarioglu.”
A cryptic tweet was sent out from the official Overwatch Twitter account, causing excitement within the community. The tweet shows a mission report mentioning some already released heroes from Overwatch and a new name. Is this the next champion?
Emre Sarioglu – the new Overwatch Champion?
The announcement is not entirely clear, although fans are assuming a new hero is coming.
The declassified mission report discusses Operation “White Dome.” A task force led by Captain Ana Amari, an existing Overwatch character, was sent to Istanbul. The team included:
- Lieutenant Reinhard Wilhelm
- Chief Engineer Torbjörn Lindholm
- and Private First Class Emre Sarioglu
The first names are familiar to fans of Blizzard’s hero shooter, as these are Ana, Reinhardt, and Torbjörn. The fourth name in the group, Emre Sarioglu, is new and could be a teaser for the next hero in Overwatch. Unfortunately, the “Full Report” of the teaser, which could tell us more interesting information and details about the deployment of this team, is missing.
The Overwatch team has previously shown that they like to hint at champions as teasers rather than releasing them outright. About a year ago, Orisa was teased in this way.
However, it may also be that Blizzard intentionally wants to mislead us, and Emre Sarioglu is not the new hero. We are curious when new information about the hero will arrive. Until then, we will keep ourselves busy with the existing ones. When will the Hanzo rework finally come to Overwatch?
