Overwatch is a colorful First Person Shooter game by Blizzard. It currently has a cast of 29 characters, all with unique storylines, abilities, personalities, and voice lines!
Every now and again, they will release a cinematic trailer, or comic series, to give us a glimpse of what is happening in the world of Overwatch.
With hero 27 being the Tank/Healer hybrid, Briggitte, the question on everyone's mind is, who is hero 28? Is it someone we know already, or is it someone completely new?
A few days ago, Blizzard leaked a possible hint at hero 28.
https://gamerant.com/overwatch-before-the-storm-teaser/
In the teaser, we see posters about Omnics, we see a Lucio poster (Lucio is Hero 28 Hashtag CONFIRMED!!!!), we see something about Horizon Lunar Colony, with a monkey, and a dog, as well as a Junkertown poster on the right.
So everyone is saying, that hero 28 is Hammond, an experiment whos name is shown in the Horizon LC map. Hammond is most likely a small animal, so he's either chimpanzee, a cat, or a dog, or something else. Which could be possible.. but other's are saying it could be the Junkerqueen, since Blizzard has a way of tricking us. Such as when hero 27 was teased, we first thought it was a guy named Emre.. but it was actually Briggitte.
One youtuber, actually said that it could be a mech hero, from Junkertown. Because the creators mentioned in the forums once, that they'd love to have a mech hero, similar to D.VA's mech. There are actually un-used mechs in the Junkertown map.
I have a weird theory myself. Blizzard said that they might someday, release 4 characters a year. Since the first teaser gives the possibility of a few characters, what if they released two characters at the same time? (Which would be nice for the no limits arcade mode.)
I think it'd be cool, and exciting! (But at the same time, they're bumping their events up, so maybe they're making them earlier, so they can eventually release heroes every three months?)
I'd also like to point out, that Winston was experiment 28, on Horizon Lunar Colony, so he should have been hero 28.. And that Lynx 17, should have been hero 17. Just sayin' yall, just sayin'.
Overwatch has become one of my favorite games, even though I am a RPG d.VA at heart (See what I did there?)
But it's nice and refreshing to have a game, where I can get excited about new content, since all of my favorite games are long dead. (RIP Suikoden, Chrono Cross, and Kya Dark Lineage!)
Here is a list of the characters released in order.
This is a list of Overwatch characters in order of appearance. The first 21 heroes are currently being figured out. I'm going to section off characters in three sections until I, or someone else finds the right order. I know that Tracer, Reaper and Windowmaker, are the original three. The first 12 characters are listed Here.
Slightly known order of appearance
Top 12.
Also unknown
No color is known already.
1. Tracer
2. Reaper
3 . Widowmaker
4. Pharah (Is seen as the fourth character in old versions of the test game)
5. Hanzo
6. Mercy
7. Reinhardt
8. Winston
9. TORBJORN
10. Bastion
11. Zenyatta
12. Symmetra
13. McCree
14. Roadhog
15. Genji -
16. D.va
17. Mei
18. Junkrat
19. Lucio
20. Zarya
21. Soldier 76
22. Ana July 2016
23. Sombra November 2016
24. Orisa March 2017
25. Doomfist July 2017
26. Moira November 2017
27. Briggitte February 2018
28. Hamtaro Hammond/ aka Wrecking Ball June 2018
29. Ashe November 2018
30. Baptiste February 2019
This is a list of characters ranged combat styles (Like long range, close range etc)
Close Range = These characters are suitable up front, and close to the enemy team.
Briggitte - Briggitte's close ranged attacks, and area heal make her a contender for close range.
D.VA - Is a dive tank, who flourishes by being in the enemies face.
Doomfist - Being a melee hero, he needs to be upfront to do damage.
Genji - Gengi's melee abilities, allow him to utilize combat at close range.
Mei - Mei's fighting style is that of a Freeze & bash, she can also alternatively be a sniper.
Mercy - Mercy is suitable as a close range healer, this is evidenced with her ability to fly to heroes.
Reaper - His shotguns are damage dealers when close range, and his ult is a similar concept too.
Reinhardt - Being a shield tank, and a melee character, his arsenal is for the front lines.
Roadhog - Is a damage soaker, who can also bring enemies closer, or further away from him.
Sombra - Sombra is an infiltrator, she needs to be up close, and behind her enemies.
Tracer - Tracer is the perfect close ranged character, she'll be gone in a zip!
Winston - Is a dive tank, who can jump in on the action. His primary weapon and Ult, are also close ranged.
Middle Range = These characters are suitable in the middle of the battlefield.
Ashe - Is a secondary sniper, who also has other attacks like throwing dynamite, and her shot-gun, which require a bit of a distance, but not too far away.
Hammond - Hammond's wrecking ball arsenal is filled with distanced attacks, and his wrecking ball swings are the perfect middle range attacks.
Junkrat - Junkrat's abilities allow him to prevent enemies from getting closer, but needs to be in a medium range.
Lucio - Lucio's area heal ability, allows him to be the center of attention, and allows to heal from the center of the area.
Moira - Moira's play style is that of healing her group right behind them, not too far away, but not too close.
Soldier 76 -
Symmetra - Symmetra's kit is perfect for the mid range, her laser and orbs keep people at bay, without getting too close.
Zarya - Her abilities to shield at the last second, and her long ranged attacks, make for a good medium ranged character.
Long Range = These characters are suitable at the back lines.
Ana - Being a sniper, healer, Ana is the perfect long range fighter, staying a distance from the fight.
Bastion - Is best at long range, where no one can hurt him while in sentry mode.
Hanzo - Being a sniper, he is best at a distance.
Pharah - Being a flying hero, who has rockets, she is naturally a long ranged character.
McCree - Can double as a sniper, but in order to be effective, he must be kept at a distance.
Orisa - Being a stationary shield tank, who can shoot while shielded. She is a good anchor, to allow for her team to defeat the enemy, and continue. onward.
TORBJORN - His turret, and primary fire are best at the back lines.
Widowmaker - As a sniper, she's best from afar.
Zenyatta - His main healing ability is perfect for long range, as well as his attacks.
So I've noticed a pattern that the new heroes have been released in, and it is as follows...
There's two things that I've noticed, these can be clues to the release of the next hero.
1. The hero patterns have been "Character we've never seen before is released" then the next character is "Someone we know of".
As an example, we did not know about Ana when she came out, so she was a surprise.. while Sombra's release, was hinted, and we knew about her.
I'll show in bigger detail of heroes 22-29.
Ana (Unknown Hero)- Was unknown, aside from one character art of the Overwatch founders being younger, and some hints of Ana's Shrike skin (Which everyone thought was Sombra)
Sombra (Known Hero)- Was hinted at various times, but never actually seen before.
Orisa (Unknown) - Orisa was a complete surprise to everyone.
Doomfist (Known) - Was hinted at in a cinematic, as well as on the Numbani map.
Moira (Unknown) - No one knew of Moira prior to her release, it was found out later she made a cameo in the release of Doomfists comic as a shaded out figure.
Briggitte (Known) - Briggitte is the first character to originate from the comics, Cinematic, and actually become a hero. She was fully seen before.
Hammond/Wrecking Ball - Hammond was only ever hinted at by name on the Horizon Lunar Colony map.
[At this point in time, it seems like Blizzard is switching the roles from definitely seen heroes being released, and heard of heroes, instead of surprising us with random characters.. like hero 29...]
Ashe: Was a completely random hero, that no one knew about. This is the first time we had two unseen characters in a row. This makes me believe they won't be doing this pattern anymore.
2. Role Release
The second hero release hint, can be seen in the roles the hero plays when the come out. Not counting hero 29, Ashe, they have done this in a specific order.
So far, the heroes have been released in July, November, & March. Every time a hero came out in that month, they were a different role.
July, we had Ana, Doomfist, & Hammond. A Healer, Offense, & Tank.
November, we had Sombra, Moira, Ashe. An offensive character, Healer, and Offense.
March, we had Orisa, Briggitte & Hero 30. A tank, then a healer.
Before hero 29, the characters were being released in a pattern. They had each role release separately every month for that year (Healer, damage, tank etc). November, is the first time we got two offense heroes in a span of three years. With the release of Ashe, maybe they will not continue this pattern anymore, but it was definitely interesting, and I'm curious to see what they'll do with hero 30, which is already playable according to the devs.
What is everyone's thoughts on Overwatch?

I love this game even though it's been a while since I played it. The way they handle content updates is awesome too, since everything is either free or can be found in loot boxes that are easy to earn on a frequent basis. Only gripe I've had with the game regularly is being loaded into a match before the character models have been loaded, so everyone is invisible until they load in. It's even worse when Mystery Heroes is the mode and even the HUD hasn't loaded yet, because then it really is a mystery as to who you have.

When it comes to Overwatch I think of all the dank memes! Then I must ask myself one very important questions:
When it comes to Overwatch I am terrible at playing it, but I really do enjoy playing it. So the only two characters I particularly feel like I do okay at are Mercy and of course... D.va! Cause I am meme trash just like her.
So as your theory about the next characters being multiple releases that could be cool, but I makes me wonder about the balance. I feel like adding characters too much in session causes it hard to be balanced. Now for the artstyle I think all the characters have interesting and pretty cool designs...but I must admit I really don't like Moira design it just so...."Blah"
It might just be the hands, but I just really feel like my problem with her design is...."BAD TOUCH LADY" I don't think anyone will get that, but I just have a problem with her design.

I like many of Moira's other skins, like the red one, and the epic ones too. I usually like the classic skins to a degree, but never use them.. Sombra, and Tracer's I like. But I hate Briggitte's, I like yellow, yellow is like my third favorite color.. HOWEVER.. Not all yellows were created equally, and that yellow on her armor, just does not work for me. lmao
The funny thing is they never balance the characters when they're released, so it's funny they don't do it more often. But they've been moving up all the events to an earlier time, which makes me think they'll start moving the hero releases up, to include an extra fourth hero a year.
I want to talk about new character releases for a second, I have this whole idea.
So, Blizzard has been releasing characters in a pattern. First, they release a character unknown to everyone, then release a character we know about. The problem I find right now, is we know of many different characters, but it's going to take forever for them to come out at this rate..
Okay, so here's my list.
- Ana - Was unknown, aside from an image of one of her skins in Route 66, tricking people into thinking it was Sombra.
- Sombra - Was "known" about, through various clues in the games maps.
- Orisa - Was completely unknown to everyone.
- Doomfist - Had been speculated, since the original short movie/trailer.
- Moira - Unknown, but hinted in the Doomfist origin story comic.
- Briggitte - Has been known since the beginning.
- Hero 28 - If it's Hammond, Junker Queen, or Wrecking ball.. They were slightly hinted, but never actually seen (Minus JunkerQueen, sort of).. so this character will be in the unseen category.. Ana and Moira were sligthly hinted, so this fits the title well.
The rest of the recent hinted characters is as followed/follows? etc...Mainly from the comics.
Seen
In order of appearance.
Sanjay - Symmetra's co-worker.. Talon member. He was first seen in a May 2016 comic.
Sven - An ex co-worker of Torb's, that appears in a comic with him in May 2016
Maximilien - An omnic working for Talon, revealed in the Doomfist comic, along with Moira Carey. Summer 2017
Lynx 17 - Shown in Zarya's comic, in September/fall 2017.
Hinted
Liao - A founding member of overwatch.
Mirembre - Her and Kimiko actually have faces, but they're only seen in one of the animated shorts.
Kimiko -
JunkerQueen - She has voicelines in the Junkertown map, and she has a picture of herself in Junkertown, this could be considered as a seen hero, but I find it more as a hint, since it's not right in your face.
Emre - Emre is mentioned before the Retribution event started, which also lead to Briggitte's release, he sounds to be an offensive hero.
There's others, but I can post more another time.
I think that Hammond/Wrecking ball will be released in the upcoming days/weeks. Then the next hero will most likely be Sanjay, or Maximillien, a character we know already. Then I think Junker Queen, or Emre will come out as the unknown hero. The next hero would be Sanjay or Maximillien, whichever one was not released.. then another unknown or slightly hinted hero.. In which, I think Lynx would be released after that..
But that's just my speculation.
Meanwhile, me waiting for Lynx 17 to be a character like...
Another hacker like Sombra? Yes please! Maybe Lynx can do something different, like hack shields onto characters, or hack defense boosts, or something.
Maybe let's get another tank, who's a hacker too, we can have the three hackateers! Maybe a guy, because then you have a boy, girl, and then a robot, that doesn't identify as a gender.
Sombra is the sassy hacker, and from Zarya's comic, we can see Lynx is a smart ass. Sombra needs someone else to meme with.
Zarya: You're a robot, she didn't tell me you were a robot.
Lynx 17: You're very observant, she didn't tell me you were observant.

So, Blizzard has been releasing characters in a pattern. First, they release a character unknown to everyone, then release a character we know about. The problem I find right now, is we know of many different characters, but it's going to take forever for them to come out at this rate..
Okay, so here's my list.
- Ana - Was unknown, aside from an image of one of her skins in Route 66, tricking people into thinking it was Sombra.
- Sombra - Was "known" about, through various clues in the games maps.
- Orisa - Was completely unknown to everyone.
- Doomfist - Had been speculated, since the original short movie/trailer.
- Moira - Unknown, but hinted in the Doomfist origin story comic.
- Briggitte - Has been known since the beginning.
- Hero 28 - If it's Hammond, Junker Queen, or Wrecking ball.. They were slightly hinted, but never actually seen (Minus JunkerQueen, sort of).. so this character will be in the unseen category.. Ana and Moira were sligthly hinted, so this fits the title well.
The rest of the recent hinted characters is as followed/follows? etc...Mainly from the comics.
Seen
In order of appearance.
Sanjay - Symmetra's co-worker.. Talon member. He was first seen in a May 2016 comic.
Sven - An ex co-worker of Torb's, that appears in a comic with him in May 2016
Maximilien - An omnic working for Talon, revealed in the Doomfist comic, along with Moira Carey. Summer 2017
Lynx 17 - Shown in Zarya's comic, in September/fall 2017.
Hinted
Liao - A founding member of overwatch.
Mirembre - Her and Kimiko actually have faces, but they're only seen in one of the animated shorts.
Kimiko -
JunkerQueen - She has voicelines in the Junkertown map, and she has a picture of herself in Junkertown, this could be considered as a seen hero, but I find it more as a hint, since it's not right in your face.
Emre - Emre is mentioned before the Retribution event started, which also lead to Briggitte's release, he sounds to be an offensive hero.
There's others, but I can post more another time.
I think that Hammond/Wrecking ball will be released in the upcoming days/weeks. Then the next hero will most likely be Sanjay, or Maximillien, a character we know already. Then I think Junker Queen, or Emre will come out as the unknown hero. The next hero would be Sanjay or Maximillien, whichever one was not released.. then another unknown or slightly hinted hero.. In which, I think Lynx would be released after that..
But that's just my speculation.
Meanwhile, me waiting for Lynx 17 to be a character like...
Another hacker like Sombra? Yes please! Maybe Lynx can do something different, like hack shields onto characters, or hack defense boosts, or something.
Maybe let's get another tank, who's a hacker too, we can have the three hackateers! Maybe a guy, because then you have a boy, girl, and then a robot, that doesn't identify as a gender.
Sombra is the sassy hacker, and from Zarya's comic, we can see Lynx is a smart ass. Sombra needs someone else to meme with.
Zarya: You're a robot, she didn't tell me you were a robot.
Lynx 17: You're very observant, she didn't tell me you were observant.

I don't play Overwatch, but oh crap, it's a hamster! Was not expecting that for a name like, oh wait. I do see now why, but also why?! All I can associate with the name is that song. Has anybody put it to the reveal video yet, I wonder?

The funny thing is, they teased this character for a year as Hammond, the character's name.. so I just cannot see him as "Wrecking Ball", I see him as Hammond.. and everyone else so far, refers him to that, because that's how he was teased. But in the game, he's under Wrecking ball.. it's just weird. I just hope they have a little joke somewhere, in one if his items.. like him swinging on a wrecking ball in a white outfit, with crazy hair.

There's already fan art! lmao
Credit to whoever made these. These were on a discord server, but no one linked it to the artist.
I want to list the heroes in numerical order, but I'm having a hard time finding out which were made in what order. I know Tracer, Reaper and Windowmaker were the first three characters. I'm going to start a list in my OP.

The Summer Games event is around the corner, and will be starting on Thursday, August 9th. Lucioball will once again be coming back.
Although I personally hope they add a new event as well, because I don't care for Lucioball.
Two event skins have been revealed so far.
D.VA's. WAVERACER skin
GridIron Reinhardt
I don't really play D.VA that much, except in Mystery Heroes.. but I definitely want to get her skin!
I'm glad I don't like Reinhardt, or his new skin. Sorry Moony. lol

Rein's new skin is pretty amusing to me. Maybe I'll start playing Overwatch again so I can experience my first Summer Games event and see what it's like.

I really like D.VA's and Ana's, I got the Zenyatta skin, and that's the only sporty one I actually like this time around. I don't like the rest of them, but I'm also not a sports person, so that's probably why.

So while I was gone I have recently got back into Overwatch a lot.
And whenever I do there is one thing that always for certain. I really miss the opportunity to get event skins.
I really want the pink mercy skin. Sadly I don't think it coming back this year, if it is probably going to be next month as October is Breast Cancer awareness month so here hoping they do it again. XD

I'm sure they will bring the Mercy skin back eventually. Although I do wonder how the special skins like that one will work... We also just had a special Genji, Tracer and D.VA skin, with specific demands... and I wonder how they will work on renewing them, if at all.
I ended up getting the two previous year Mercy skins, the Ana skin, Zenyatta, and Roadhog's, I think. Zenyatta's was the only one I liked out of the sporty skins.. which meanwhile, almost all the tanks got a skin this year. I didn't get Briggitte, Moira, or Sombras, I thought they were ugly and I didn't want to fork over 750 points for each one, even though I play them all a bunch. I tend to buy stuff with points at the end of the event, and I forget to get Ana's beach ball emote!
I bought one of Tracers skins, and a few other things, but I forgot about the beach ball emote... so now I have to wait until the anniversary event to get it.. which is pretty much a year away anyway.
I only realized I forgot about the emote, because I was watching the meme team on youtube. (Tyrodin, Zylbrad and Bazzagazza), and one of them was playing Ana, and she threw her beach ball and it went into the ceiling, because they were in a room.. and they were like, it just disappeared into the ceiling .. and I was like... Wait a minute, I forgot to buy that emote!!! I feel betrayed, I betrayed Ana, she's my second most played hero. Also , I don't mean to brag, but I've gotten compliments about my Ana skills. *hair flip*
My favorite was when I sleep darted an ulting Reaper, who kept harassing me. Like I asked him to go away, and leave Britney Ana alone, they said no, but they said I was a good Ana.
I'm spending the like 20 dollars for 50 loot boxes when the Halloween event comes around, I love Halloween, and I just need to treat myself sometimes.
Also, Tracer needs a Halloween skin. Like everyone whines about how she has so many, but she literally didn't get a skin for a whole year. Halloween is the only one she doesn't have.. and now all the characters are catching up with the amount of skins (Minus new ones)... so I think she deserves one!
I got pissed off a few weeks ago, I was watching a streamer, and I said Tracer needs a Halloween skin. Some asshole was like, no she doesn't need anymore skins! I didn't say anything, but like buzz off bitch.

Giving Tracer one new skin isn't going to drastically hurt the creation of new skins for other characters. Besides, if she seems to get a lot then maybe it's because people buy hers a lot compared to other characters. Blizzard won't make skins without taking money into account as it's one of the few ways the game continues to make money.
