Bride of Junkenstein

And why I think it’s Widowmaker, and not Sombra:

  1. Widowmaker was a bride in the past, it would make sense.
  2. The sniper AI got added recently with Retribution - a kit that functions almost identically to Widowmaker’s (scope and grapple)
  3. The teaser that got dropped yesterday hinted at a new creation/monster living in the Chateau Guillard - remember, the bride was created as a mate for the Monster.

Now, I know that going by the image leak it could be Sombra, but those squiggly lines are classic to the hairdo of the Bride - not necessarily the shaved parts on Sombra. And if we’re talking the spider queen skin, that could be an Orisa epic.

It’s possibly a stretch, but I genuinely believe the bride will be Widowmaker.

But, Widow is already ”The Huntress” in that universe. So…

And, also! Could be Moira. She’s dark, scary, and creepy. Perfect fit for evil!

That’s because she is evil.

I’m glad you made a post about this, it’s a solid theory

Could be like Sarah Paulson in 90 percent of AHS seasons :wink:

Moira sounds cool!

Thank you :smiley: It’s been on my mind since the teaser dropped.

If Widowmaker was Junkensteins bride I hope she would kill him.

But the bride is gonna be playable? since its in the achievement

That is a cool concept! They’d have to add a Moira AI in, though. I’d prefer Widow or Moira to Sombra, though. They fit the creepy vibe better.

Same, and I don’t even play her!

She was already the Huntress in 2017, this seems very unlikely.

I think it’s Widowmaker as well. She was a bride of Gerald, it’s her home in the teaser; “a monolithic lair”.

We already know heroes have had multiple Halloween personas in the past i.e. they’ve had multiple skins for Halloween; e.g. Ana is a ghoul and a pirate.

Huh… I thought the bride would be added to Junkenstein’s army, since she is his creation after all. Like the summoner.

And who says that the 2017 storyline is coming back? The only solid one is the 4 wanderers. With that logic, the knight skin won’t be Genji - and he’s the only one who seems to fit that one.

Just like Gerard…

Someone gets it!

Brigitte! They can always add new characters. XP

Youd think that but apparently not i guess. It seems its gonna be part of the endless mode. Well in any case im sure well get a comic about it. I think the last comic was christmas

True, but she has two knight skins already ;0

Plus, it covers the whole fact and looks similar to his mask:

Nah, last comic was Retribution, post-event mission. Also I really hope the bride would be an AI… >_<

Oh yeah forgot about that one. We are really not getting as many comics and that sucks

As much as I want it to be Moira or Widowmaker (because they’re way more fitting), there’s really no denying it’s gonna be Sombra. I mean, it’s just so obvious it’s her in the picture. Even if the lines in the hair don’t mean anything, it’s definitely her facial structure and collar.

That being said, It looks like Moira’s most likely getting the skin in the top-center.

Spider Queen - as much as it pains me to say - will most likely be a skin for Widowmaker. I doubt it would be a skin for Orisa because it’s only an epic skin (as far as we know) and there’s only so much you can do for an epic skin. Then again, Blizzard really has been stepping up their Epic skins recently, so you really never know.

Well, Widow got her new Halloween skin.
Its an epic.

I mean, the Wanderers PTR leak already made it abundantly clear the Bride would be Sombra and not Widowmaker, and I think anyone could tell the ‘Spider Queen’ leak was going to be Widow

I understand the argument that Spider Queen could’ve been for Orisa, but if you think about it, for Orisa to look like a ‘Spider Queen’ you’d need to do a lot more than standard epic stuff to her model for it to look good

No widow already has an Halloween skin and the icon for the 6 wanders it’s clearly sombra
