Two Mods Rumored To Come To The Numbani Map
The "Overwatch" developers continue to tease the new hero by updating the public test realm version of the game. Recently, the "Overwatch" blog revealed a post that is believed to reveal that the next playable "Overwatch" character may not be Doomfist after all as it has been noted that at least two vital modifications may be coming to the Numbani map.
It is believed that the primary would come within the spawn room for the attacking group where the aftermath of the assault can be seen. Remember that the assault was coated in a faux news report on the "Overwatch" Facebook page.
The photo on the post was also captioned OR15 defense units destroyed in confrontation with unidentified attacker at Numbani airport with no civilian casualties reported, Bitgon reported. Other fan theories involve a four-legged robot called Anchora who was spotted in the background of several trailers. It is further expected that the next "Overwatch" playable character would be a female omnic quadruped.
New Hero May Be A Tank Character
In other news, the "Overwatch" developers also shared tweets on their official Twitter account that further the lore around the story of the game. The first post revealed an interview with the 11-year-old inventor and scientist named Efi Oladele. The genius from Numbani has also been linked to Doomfist's gauntlet, reviving speculations about Doomfist as the next new hero.
"Overwatch" fans however, quickly shut down speculations, pointing to Jeff Kaplan's comment on the official forums that 24 is not who everyone thinks it is, Fansided reported. The rumor then moved on to the spider robot, Anchora which was spotted in Sombra's animated short and in game images displayed at conferences, hinting that one of Efi's creations may be a tank character.
