Overwatch 2’s next hero is on the way. In fact, she might already have landed, according to an in-game teaser found in this week’s update.
4 New Heroes, New Maps + Modes, Competitive 3.0 & MORE! – Overwatch 2 BlizzCon Recap
Earlier this week, a spaceship was found in the attackers' spawn room on Dorado, providing a sneak peek at the game's 41st hero, which was announced at last year's BlizzCon as a support hero codenamed Space Ranger.
The not-so-subtle space-themed nod also included audible Morse code, which was quickly deciphered by OW2 fans. The message reads: "J has landed. Attempting to transmit to RPT. Awaiting response."
Additionally, a photo inside the ship shows DPS hero Mei and an unknown character together in lab coats. OW2 lore-hounds theorize that "J" could refer to a character from Mei's past named Jiayi, someone she mentions when playing on the Lijiang Tower map, as spotted by Polygon.
