There have been a ton ofOverwatch 2leaks lately, with many of them stemming from Rod Breslau, also known as “Slasher.” One claim made by Breslau was that hero 32 would be revealed alongsideOverwatch 2, and that it would be none other than Echo. However, Breslau has since walked back that claim, as it seems as thoughOverwatchhero 32 will be a different character entirely.
Fans have been speculating thatEcho would be hero 32since she was first detailed by Jeff Kaplan at last year’s BlizzCon event. However, Breslau has deleted the information about hero 32 from hisOverwatch 2leak as it is “likely untrue.” This doesn’t mean that Echo won’t come toOverwatchorOverwatch 2at some point down the line, but rather thatOverwatchhero 32 may just be someone else.

If Echo isn’tOverwatchhero 32, then it’s hard to say who it will be. One possibility is that Mauga will finally be added to the game. For the uninitiated, Mauga was originally supposed to be hero 31, but his planned abilities were incorporated into thenew tank hero Sigmainstead. Like Echo, Mauga has already been featured inOverwatchlore, having made his debut in the Baptiste short story, and so his addition to the hero shooter is likely just a matter of time.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem likeOverwatchfans will learn the identity of hero 32 in the game anytime soon. Many of the rumors claim that Blizzard will not reveal a newOverwatchhero at BlizzCon 2019, and that it will instead use the platform to showcase the sequel itself. There will undoubtedly be new heroes added toOverwatch 2down the line, but those announcements may have to wait.
In the meantime, theOverwatch 2BlizzCon 2019 announcementsare expected to be pretty big. The rumors say that Blizzard will unveilOverwatch 2’s 4-player co-op campaign, alongside a new map and a new game mode called Push. BlizzCon 2019 attendees may even have the chance to tryOverwatch 2out on the show floor, though that has yet to be confirmed or denied by Blizzard.
Those looking forward toOverwatch 2should tune in to BlizzCon 2019 on November 1 to see just how much truth there is to all these rumors.
