( šŸŽµ Dramatic Music) Thus itā€™s March... Known for Hero Releases

General Discussion
1

A Year ago around this time, we would enjoy the thrill of theories on the next hero who would then be released this week.

But usually thatā€™s with the release of a hero hintā€¦

And we have passed the time of all hero hints were released in the past.

Now we have till March 13, till we fully passed this checkpoint.

Honestly I hope Blizz says something on Hero 32 by thenā€¦

Else they are seemly leaving OW1 fans behind.

Or do you think :thinking:ā€¦ they snuck a hint under our noses disguised as something else?

Debate, express your feelings and keep me updated on your thoughts!

For I am hereā€¦ responding and keep you informed of the current history.

And yet no heroes shalt be released.

Nah. Zaryaā€™s AoE bubble and Healhog are probably OW2 talents, though.

The question is, would Healhog be enough to get a Junker team through an OW2 PvE mission? And if not - who would be the support for Team Junker?

(Dramatically) But why just keep us in the dark for so long?

Are they just trying to trick us into buying the next gen consoles?

A lastā€¦ we might never know becauseā€¦
SILENCE!!!

New hero with archives event most likely, weā€™ve had some new content in the past couple of weeks so iā€™m not too bothered for now

(I know youtubers are trying to push thisā€¦ but then they say this every year.)

Well I think a big part of the radio silence comes from OW2. I think they wanna release multiple heroes for it at launch, I donā€™t like it either, but itā€™s a marketing strategy.

8

I donā€™t really think they are. But I think they are trying to stretch this hero release out as far as possible so there is a variety of events for this year before Overwatch 2 considering that Overwatch wonā€™t be attended to as much.

Example:confirmed no new archives

But Jeff did claim one was coming.

WAS HE LYING? :flushed:

It really makes me sad to see you being so passionate about the game, waiting for a new hero finally to be released butā€¦ Blizzard is just silenceā€¦ :pleading_face:

At least a new mapā€¦ Meh p-p

I hope not but I feel that theyā€™re trying to push hero 32 closer to ow2ā€™s released date. That is if the leaks are true and ow2 is coming this year.

I keep the light on, when the " :yawning_face:boredom appears".

Plus there is a lot of sick people :mask: or trapped people :scream: with nothing better to do with the flu being uncontrolled.

Posted a separate theory last night: šŸ§ (Hero 32) 1/3/2 theory: This could have been a Testing ground for Echo!?! if you 2 are bored or sick.

i mean considering that jeff said ā€œweā€™ll release one more hero before ow2ā€ this seems to be the perfect time to do it but i wouldnā€™t dare get excited or care about that
personally my interest in the game has been dwindling and it is expected considering iā€™ve played over 12K gamesā€¦

14

Thereā€™s only one hero confirmed before Overwatch 2 release and unfortunately silence is their strategy. I still remember Jeffs post when someone asked about The next hero

(Honestly they should have done a roadmap like other gaming companies have done.)

16

Do you really think I have not seen that post already? :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

indeed. it would make sense to put the hero live half way to Overwatch2ā€¦

Please note, this was Jan 30, 5 weeks ago. (not even close to the proper hint release time)

18

Also yeah Iā€™m pretty aware of when he said this.

19

But what about saving room to ā€œBalenceā€ Hero 32ā€¦ This is gonna be a thing, and will usually take awhile.

The only thing I can really remember from this time last year was an angry/worried community. Apex Legs came out and was dominating the twitch scene and we were coming off the back of a less than stellar LNY event.

Iā€™d like a new hero to try out soon, but Iā€™m more than happy if they choose to focus on gameplay features as well, experimental or not.
