Yesterday we finally met Overwatch's new hero, Echo. And this morning we got his set of skills, which he promises to offer a lot of game to Higizzard & # 39; s Hero Shooter. In addition, today we learned, in the hands of Jeff Kaplan, that the hero will be the last to join the first game before the release of Overwatch 2.
In this way, the builder of Blizzard Shooter confirmed what many of us were afraid of. From now until the sequel is released, Overwatch will not find any new heroes. With this decision, the research will focus solely on the development of the second part, which no longer has a release date.
There will be no new heroes until Overwatch 2
Yes Echo is currently the last hero to reach Overwatch. The focus of the next two heroes will be on Overwatch 2.
However, these Kaplan's statement to IGN they enlighten us a little. Granted, Echo will be the last heroine to join the base game, but chances are, when sequel hits, we'll have at least two heroes. One of them will probably be Sojourn, who was already appearing in the game's launch at Blizzcon 2019. As for the rest, it's still a mystery.
Of course, those who are concerned that there are more heroes focused on harm, in the middle of the now-unheard of Echo, can rest easy. Especially since Kaplan confirmed that in the second half they had a huge list of new tank type heroes and sponsorships that increased the options for both teams.
Finally, remember that all new heroes released in Overwatch 2 can also enjoy the first game. This is because both articles will share PvP. With this, new heroes, maps and game modes that reach the competitive side will be both topics.
