The Next Hero isn't Brigitte...it's

Her Cat.

You heard me. Blizzard saw the response fans took for Jetpack Cat and are now introducing an actual cat into the game, via Brigitte’s cat.

How do we know she has a cat? Various clues hidden among the recent twitter photos.

How do we know her cat is the next hero? Well…the second image literally shows us! There are two coffee stains on the blueprint, and circled in the second one is an actual diagram of her cat in the armor she’s making for it. We also get over bearing hints of Lions within the design of this armor, even as the face plate of the shield.

This isn’t not a joke, this is legitimate speculation.

In Image One We see a cat toy and below an orange paw swinging at the toy itself, implying the melee actions of our soon to be Cat Hero.

In Image two We see the Cat itself, the title KattMatt, The Cat in Armor, The Lion Faceplate, ect.

EDIT: This is NOT Jetpack cat stop bringing up Jetpack cat.

Yeah, they did that on purpose to try and throw people off. Trolling is kind of a thing that Blizz likes to do :stuck_out_tongue:

Well the Japanese Twitter messed up and put the folder file which included “Brigitte Tease 3” or something like that. While it’d be cool to have Jetpack Cat, it does appear the cat will likely be like Snowball and be just tacked onto one of her abilities or lore.

On a more serious note, I want the new hero have an emote where he/she plays with Jetpack Cat.

Exactly, they’re doing another Orisa tease, but Brigitte is the troll. Everyone’s thinking it’s going to be here, but it’s not. Why would she be drawing schismatics for her CAT.

Overwatch has some pretty wacky heroes, but a regular cat with a jetpack is too far. I’m all for unique and interesting heroes but “Jetpack Cat” will pretty much never fit into the hero lineup and I hope they’re never a hero.

Holy cow I’ve never ONCE SAID The cat would have a Jetpack. In fact I said the opposite, that the cat is being placed in some sort of heavy armored set.

I don’t care, having a cat as a hero is a stupid idea and I hope it doesn’t happen

We already know the hero 27 and by “already” Jeff meant someone that we saw or we heard (or both) but in all that stuff they give in the lore not in the theories Jetpack Cat only appears in concept arts and theories not in real lore

Okay well have fun living in a world with zero imagination and fun.

We have a Gorilla Hero, a Robot Centaur Hero, and people BEGGED for a Chimp Hero (Hammond) So I don’t want any of this “A Cat in armor would be stupid” Nonsense, don’t catch me with that.

How would you explain a cat who knows how to control a jet pack or How to fight a cyborg ninja and a huge meca ? I mean ok for the gorilla that’s an intelligent species but for a cat
Maybe Brigitte learnt him how to catch a plastic mouse and now it has a fully developped cat brain xDD

Here is a summary on one of the minor characters from Bridgittes and Reinhardts comic. Notice the Lion?

Bridgitte made armor for that prop, so It wouldn’t be unrealistic for her to use a similar prop in her kit, like snowball and Mei. Since jetpack cat would be too unusual even for the world of overwatch, using it as a prop within bridgittes kit would be realistic from a lore standpoint, and a nod to blizzard’s fans.

This is what I suspect.
