So as of now, we have 29 characters in the game. But what about the others that were in Winston’s recall? 15 to be exact. 15 other members of overwatch who merely got a passing glance of less than 1 second apart.
Those members can be seen here: https://files.catbox.moe/4g8o60.png
Now im just sitting here wondering when we’ll ever see some of these people. They look really interesting designwise, some more than others of course, but they all look like they’d play pretty fun.
Heck, if anyone has any thoughts, ideas, or just on-the-spot headcanons for these characters, I’d love to hear them
Second in the first column (black lady with blonde hair) is Mirembe; second in the second column (Asian lady with coloured tips) is Kimiko - they were both on the mission in Legacy that Ana was watching over. I’d love to learn more about them.

huh, i didn’t know they were actual characters that were seen before. i wonder if any of the others had appearances too
More like seen after. Recall came first, Legacy second.
Also notable are:
Top left corner (Appeared in a lot of promotional art, appears to be a scrapped hero concept. Was also in the first trailer, with the groupshot that included Zenyatta/Lucio/Bastion, on the far left side.)
Bottom Right corner (Wildebeest, the Big Red Robot. Was originally a Reinhardt concept who was scrapped and had his pieces given to three heroes. Reinhardt, Orisa (Was a Numbani themed character) and Brigitte (choice of weapon was a flail).

Maybe we’ll see some of them in new comics or even as new heroes.
E.g. bottom left one looks like an old design for what became Echo now. So I guess devs are going to reuse at least some of these concepts.
Btw I really like Mirembe design, hope to see her again.
Reaper going through his list in masquerade would hint that some are dead in the story currently, hopefully not all the remaining ones shown in the recall short but realistically some will be gone.
Yeah, this. Reaper managed to obtain some data by hacking into Winston’s systems, and has already killed some of Overwatch agents.

All I know is that Tracer, Reinhardt, McCree (Albeit not going back to OW) and maybe Genji had responded to the Recall. We literally have no idea who responded to the Recall.
It’s implied that Genji has, based on him telling Hanzo “it’s time to pick a side”. Mei has also answered - she writes her journal after she has already made contact with Winston.
We haven’t seen Torbjorn answer, but it’s likely that he will (and will bring Bastion with him).

Probably not. She is a pacifist who’s technology was repeatedly weaponized by Overwatch scientists and engineers against her wishes. Past that, she has voicelines on Gibraltar of her saying that she thinks its best Overwatch stays shutdown.

Second in first column from below - man with blue glass - is the same person we can see in attackers’ spawn in Hanamura on some posters.
Nah, that’s a misconception. That visor never makes an appearance in those posters.
But its worth mentioning the big D.Va banner existed before she was a hero.
I want soundquake, I don’t even care if it looks like Reinhardt. The one across is the original concept art of Echo (which I think was also the same as Athena in development)

That’s not Soundquake. AFAIK, its name was Wildebeest.
And Echo was confirmed to never be Athena. They were just trying to fill the space on her head so it didn’t look plain white. They also used a Vishkar logo, and Echo also has no tie to Vishkar.
i am starting to grow doubt about Wildebeest being just a concept, given this image: https://bit.ly/2NjFJna
