The 31st hero of Overwatch may have been leaked. There is now a look at the appearance, the name Sigma, and a connection to physics with the new hero.
What was leaked? New information has come to light that supposedly shows the next new hero in Overwatch. His name is Sigma. Even a picture of his face has allegedly been leaked.
Who leaked it? The leak comes from the official Overwatch World Championship team from Mexico. The team supposedly saw the picture of Sigma in a Mexican blog post about Overwatch and secured it as a screenshot. The blog post was actually about the new role queue system. The image of Sigma and his name appeared there by accident.
On the blog, the image has since been replaced with another where Sigma is no longer visible.
A few days ago, Jeff Kaplan, the game director of Overwatch, confirmed that hero 31 is a male character. Hero 31 in Overwatch still needs a little time, but he will probably be fantastic, it says.
These leaks come at a time when there is already a lot going on in Overwatch. The role queue system was announced, where players will need to choose and establish whether they want to play as DPS, healer, or tank in a match in the future.
What is known so far about Sigma in Overwatch – Hero 31?
This is how Overwatch responds to the leak: In an interview with the popular streamer “Seagull”, Jeff Kaplan talked about Overwatch. The game director also addressed questions from the chat. However, he had little to say about a question regarding Sigma.
“Who is Sigma? That’s a good question,” Kaplan says and then does not elaborate further.
It probably has to do with physics: The last developer update from Overwatch was unusual. Jeff Kaplan starts to speak but then disappears from the screen through animation. After that, some formulas can be seen.
In the description, it says: “In this developer update, game director Jeff Kaplan goes into detail about the upcoming …”
Players suspect that these formulas are related to the new hero.
As Gamestar reports, you can calculate the constant speed of a satellite that moves at a certain radius around the Earth with the formula v² = GM/r. With the formula M = V²r/g you can calculate the mass of bodies in space.
In mathematics, Sigma is used as a lowercase Greek letter for the standard deviation of the population in statistics and probability theory.
What do you think, what kind of new hero is coming? Do you trust the leak and could it possibly be a physicist?
