Doomfist is probably the next character to join Overwatch . Fans have already calculated his release date.
The rumors and ideas surrounding Doomfist have been around since the first cinematic of Overwatch was introduced. Back then, he was just a glove that two kids could examine in a museum before they were catapulted directly into the action with Tracer, Winston, Reaper, and Widowmaker.
Since then, there have been recurring hints about what Doomfist might be like and what he has done. The weapon bearing his name was even temporarily transported with the payload in Numbani. However, a few months ago, it was stolen during an incident, and since then, the community hasn’t held back on the hype surrounding Doomfist.
On Reddit, user ArielleSweetSugar has put forth a theory and simply used the release of Orisa as an example. Accordingly, the following dates emerge:
- The first teaser appeared on July 4, 2017.
- The second should then appear on July 7, 2017.
- Three days later, on July 10, the third teaser appears.
- Another three days later, on July 13, would be the PTR release and possibly a cinematic.
- The release of Doomfist would then take place a few weeks later – on August 1, 2017. This fits well as August 1 is a Tuesday when Overwatch patches are usually deployed.
August 2 was also the start date for the Summer Games last year! Another hint that the patch will be released on that day.
Furthermore, many fans now assume that the date of the first “teaser” release of Doomfist was already visible in Orisa’s cinematic. There’s an image in which a “7” and a “4” appear – the 4th of July. Certainly, this could just be a coincidence – but who believes in coincidences with Blizzard’s hints?
Update: Doomfist seems to be coming sooner than expected. On Thursday evening, July 6, he appeared on the PTR. Blizzard is hurrying up!
Overwatch: Doomfist is here! These are his abilities
