With the upcoming arena shooter from Blizzard, Overwatch, hints of another hero have surfaced, who is likely to appear at PAX East in Boston.
It would be much more exciting if Overwatch had already been released and we were all playing it like crazy, but even so, there are indications that Blizzard is filling the roster of playable characters. Tomorrow PAX East in Boston is approaching, where they aim to provide information on HotS, Hearthstone and also Overwatch – and likely introduce two new heroes for the new shooter. The first seems to be a Russian weightlifter (because… why not?), the second could be a cowboy who writes about his secret identity as a vigilante in his normal identity.

This is at least evident from this tweet, which shows a newspaper article. Here, the fictional columnist “Joel Morricone” writes about a strangely anachronistic cowboy who, in a “post-Overwatch” world (where the heroes are gone), takes the law into his own hands. As reported by 2p.com, Blizzard once introduced a “Joel” cowboy character. Well, if that doesn’t awaken the inner Sherlock.
More about Blizzard’s latest project can be found in this preview-like Overwatch article.
