Ok so first, EVERYONE look out for the 18th of February. IF there’s an announcement then this statement is true. Then we look out for the hero announcements.
Let me paste all the Overwatch related bits:

“Hey. I don’t work on Team 2, but I’m good friends with someone who does. There are a few Blizzard announcements coming that are currently scheduled for February 18th.”
“Overwatch 2 CBT starts in late Feb. Public Test in mid March. Three new heroes (Sojourn, Mauga, Yako).”
“The first announcement is the Overwatch 2 closed beta. They’ll be announcing two more new heroes: Mauga (buff tank dude that dual wields gatling guns) and Yako (teenage ninja girl with a giant shuriken and pet fox spirit). Closed beta will start in late Feb, and a public PvE demo that is scheduled to run for two weeks in mid March (console and PC).”
Sounds extremely believable to me personally. Especially since the new hero reveals are either basically confirmed already or already hinted at in game (Mauga confirmed by Jeff and Fox Girl in concept art and Kanezaka). Got me hyped.
