The rumor mill around Hero 27 in Overwatch is boiling. Constantly, new clues emerge that seem to indicate a direction. Now two more come directly from Blizzard, and they point to Brigitte.
Every time new heroes appear in Overwatch, there is much speculation. This is also in part Blizzard’s fault, which continuously throws small bits of information to the community or hosts “Augmented Reality” teasers like for Sombra.
Now two images have appeared on the official Overwatch Twitter account. These reinforce the suspicion that Torbjörn’s eldest daughter Brigitte will be the next hero.
A weapon as a clue – Slaga
The first image shows a weapon, the “Slaga V3.0”. The weapon looks like a large, medieval mace and reminds one of Reinhardt’s hammer and armor. Both items are things that Brigitte maintains, so she is familiar with them.
The word “Slaga” is Swedish and means something like “mace” or “bludgeon”. Other Swedish words can also be recognized and indicate once again the daughter of the Swedish chief engineer Torbjörn Lindholm.
The cat is the clue
The second image, which was tweeted just a few hours ago, is even more enlightening – but only if you know a bit about the background story. Next to a drawing that also reminds one of Reinhardt’s armor, two things stand out in particular.
In the upper area, you can see the tail and paw of a cat. The color of the fur matches the paw that was already visible in the previous image in the lower part, which had made a scratch on the table. It is known that Brigitte has a cat.
The second, somewhat clearer clue is the symbol on the coffee mug. On the black mug, there is a white gear depicted. The same gear is tattooed on Brigitte’s right arm, which can be seen in the story video with Reinhardt around minute 7.
Together with the recent leak from the Japanese Overwatch channel on Twitter, Brigitte seems to be becoming more and more likely. On the other hand, many thought until the end that Athena would be the new hero with Sombra…
