Overwatch Fans Think a New Hero is Coming Tomorrow and Here’s Their Evidence

A new Overwatch hero is almost certainly on its way, with Blizzard dropping numerous clues regarding an upcoming reveal. However, fans believe that this announcement could happen as soon as tomorrow, and they believe they have the evidence to back it up.

The clues are apparently hidden in plain sight in Numbani, a map that is notable for being the home city of Efi Oladele, an 11-year-old robotics genius who was the subject of an “interview” posted by Blizzard last week. It is strongly suggested that Efi will be linked to the announcement of the new hero, but this new speculation derives from posters found around the map.

As pointed out in a Reddit post, there’s a giant, unknown robot character who appears on a billboard that overlooks the city, as you can see in the image below:

This character also appears in the below poster on the map alongside a woman, with the poster advertising a Fashion Week “Spring Collection:”

Then there’s this third image, which contains the biggest piece of evidence in the theory. Once again, it’s a poster featuring the robot alongside a female model, but also features the logo fro the AETRIA fashion company alongside the cities Numbani, New York and Paris:

As outlined in the Reddit post, New York Fashion Week runs from February 9 – 15, while Paris Fashion Week begins on February 28 and lasts until March 8. The flight times for New York and Paris on the map’s flight board have also been changed from “Delayed” to “On Time.”  It has therefore been suggested that the new character will be revealed tomorrow, in time for the start of Paris Fashion Week.

Blizzard also posted the following on Twitter earlier today, revealing a “curious image” from Efi Oladele featuring a rundown of components for a robot. Interestingly, the color scheme matches that of the robot featured in the above images:

It seems that these Overwatch fans could be on to a winner, with there being a lot of evidence to suggest that this robot could be the next hero, or at the very least linked to it. Hopefully we’ll find out more tomorrow.
