Although Moira, the newest hero for Overwatch, was only announced and made playable at BlizzCon, the community is already speculating about the next hero.
A little over a year ago, Blizzard emphasized that they wanted to implement significantly more “evil” characters in Overwatch, as there is currently a strong imbalance with the “good” heroes. At least with Doomfist, Sombra, and Moira, they’ve made that a reality – but one thing is still missing: an evil tank.
But nothing escapes the community’s notice. On Reddit, the user EnjiYamakuza spotted another detail in the comic “Masquerade”.
Blizzard has released some artworks of Moira, including a “group photo” with the leaders of Talon. Among them are Doomfist, Reaper, and Moira.
Origin Video Makes Waves
This image was also later used in Moira’s “Origin” video, in which Blizzard explains the backstory of the shady healer. But if you look closely, you can see that Blizzard has slightly modified this image for the cinematic!
The display board in the background has changed. Instead of another window with unclear information, there is now a clear drawing of a battle suit or even a new character.
Many players suspect that this is a battle armor from Talon and ultimately an “evil” tank that will join the characters of Overwatch in one of the upcoming updates.
However, fans agree that Blizzard certainly did not make this change to the artwork by chance. The developers have repeatedly hidden clues about upcoming characters in comics and game content.
What do you think this image means? Is it the next “hero” for Overwatch? Or just a purely visual adjustment?
Have you already read the patch notes for patch 1.17 and Moira?
