Expect The Next Overwatch Hero Very Soon

Overwatch players might have a new hero to add to their rotation very soon according to Jeff Kaplan, Overwatch’s director – this comes as quite a surprise considering Orissa was only recently moved from Public Test Realm into official servers.

Speaking to IBTimesUK, Kaplan stated that the new hero is “far along in development”, in fact so far that the team are actually working on the Character’s artwork.

“I absolutely know who the next hero is going to be. The next hero is very far along in development, so we’re at the point where we’re doing art for that hero, we’re doing a lot of aggressive play-testing.

“We know what that hero, what the abilities are and how they interact, so we’re at that point. The heroes past that hero are more in prototype, exploration phase but the next hero we’re pretty set on.”

Could the new character be far enough in development that it might be released during Overwatch’s next event, April 11th? Let’s hope so!
