We know Tracer, Mei, Winston, Genji, Mercy, Brigitte, Reinhardt, Echo and Sojourn are confirmed.
Cutscenes and concept art show McCree, Pharah, Zarya, Zenyatta, Lucio, D.Va, Torbjorn, Bastion and Baptiste working with Overwatch so these characters could end up joining.
So who else do you think could end up joining? I’m thinking:
1.Symmetra. Her recent story (Stone by Stone) hints at her future and I think she’s going to play a big part in Overwatch 2’s story. I could see her finding out about the truth about Vishkar and end up joining Overwatch.
-
Hanzo and Wrecking ball. Jeff said recently these two probably won’t be playable in the story so they may only be featured quickly in cutscenes. But if Blizzard plans on releasing more story content post launch I could see these two taking focus if they’re not playable in the story. In the “Dragons” cinematic Genji tells Hanzo to “pick a side” which makes me thik we could get a redemption arc for Hanzo. And I think Hammond could join because now he’s left Junkertown what’s is there for him to do? Plus I’d love him to reunite with Winston.
-
Orisa. Maybe Overwatch helps Efi and Orisa in Numbani and Efi decides to let Orisa go with Overwatch? Efi did make Orisa to protect people and with Overwatch she’d be protecting the entire world.
-
Ana and Soldier 76. These two currently together so if they bump into Overwatch then maybe Overwatch will convince one or both to rejoin?
-
A Talon member. Okay so this is pretty unlikely but what if there’s a twist and a Talon member defects to Overwatch? If this happens I think it will be Sigma as he isn’t actually evil (he’s being used by Talon but doesn’t realise it).
-
At least one of the new playable heroes coming to Overwatch 2. I personally see the story focusing more on Overwatch 1’s cast but I could see one new character being asked to join Overwatch.
So that’s my predictions, who do you all think will join?
