The speculation about Overwatch’s next hero is going to keep running for a while, but there are some signs that we may have more going on than we thought. For starters, fans were told that the next hero may very well not be what you think, and a new piece of fiction offers further hints about what’s coming next. It’s an interview with a child robotics prodigy, an 11-year-old girl who has received an (in-universe) grant to further her research on robotics and AI.
Efi Oladele seems like a pretty typical young girl with an interest in robots, and she’s also located right in Numbani… which you may remember from other speculation as being the current home of the eponymous Doomfist, which appears to have been stolen. So we’ve got Terry Crews going to Blizzard’s headquarters, a missing Doomfist, and a robotic prodigy. Care to assemble the pieces, fans?
