Overwatch 2 roadmap reveals an unannounced hero coming on day one
techradar.comOverwatch 2's roadmap is chock-full of info about what's to come for the free-to-play shooter on day one and beyond. This includes the confirmation that a third, unannounced hero will be joining the ranks at launch.
Overwatch 2 is launching in an early access state on October 4 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. What's more, the roadmap reveals that three new heroes are joining the fight right from the get-go.
Two of these heroes have already been revealed. Junker Queen was officially confirmed just this week, while Sojourn rolled out in the Overwatch 2 beta. Thanks to the hands on time we've has with her, we already have an Overwatch 2 Sojourn guide ready for you to dip into ahead of release.
The third hero hasn't been fully unveiled as of yet, but Blizzard has confirmed they will be a support hero. And we have one big clue that may hint at how this hero will play in-game.
By checking the linked timestamp in the Overwatch release date reveal trailer(opens in new tab), it's possible to get a quick glimpse of a blue, ethereal fox that players are speculating belongs to this enigmatic third new hero.
We're not sure what gameplay purpose this fox will serve, or if it's even at all related to the third hero. However, if it is, it's possible that the fox can provide buffs to teammates, or debuffs to enemy heroes.
Additionally, we see a group of heroes chase after the fox. Potentially, it could be guiding them to sneaky enemy players, or highlighting an optimal route to an objective. The hero's feet are glowing green, which may indicate that a speed buff is being applied, not unlike Lucio's Speed Boost. Whatever direction Blizzard is taking with this fox, and in turn the new hero, certainly has our interest piqued.
