Has Blizzard just teased the next hero in
Overwatch? The developer released this week a cryptic tease in the form of a declassified After-Action report for something called "Operation White Dome." It's believed this report could contain a reference to the game's next new hero named "Emre Sarioglu."
While the full report is kept hidden, the summary teases an operation featuring current
Overwatch heroes Captain Ana Amari, Lieutenant Reinhardt Wilhelm, and Chief Engineer Torbjorn Lindholm. Also mentioned is "Private First Class Emre Sarioglu," the only character not in the game. Although the summary doesn't expand on Sarioglu's actions during the operation, this could be the first step in his possible reveal.
Overwatch initially started with a roster of 21 characters, but has since been expanded with five more after launch. Moira was the latest addition,
added to the game in November of last year. New heroes tend to arrive every three to four months, which puts our next one on track for March.
Overwatch's Lunar New Year event, Year of the Dog,
is currently live until March 5th. This year's event features the return of an improved Capture the Flag mode and over 170 themed cosmetic items.
