With all of the new information Blizzard is trickling, could fans have been missing the hidden messages found in the latest public test region (PTR) update? Because of this, there could be a chance that the next event and Overwatch hero will have something to do with the upcoming fashion week.
Players continue their search for clues relating to the next Overwatch hero.as Blizzard released a major devastating update on the PTR. The airport spawn room transformed into a tragic scene as various omnics lay broken on the floor and one of them even being stuck to a huge crater on the wall. However, it is worth noting that these are not the only changes that Blizzard sneaked in.
Fashion Week Arriving Alongside Overwatch Hero?
To begin with, some of the flights on the board were changed. While this may not seem like anything, it might actually serve as a hint to a potential new hero. Redditor WHY_ARE_YOU_SO_ANGRY shared his personal theory regarding a new unexpected event that involves fashion week.
Fans must have noticed the large omnic or robot figure that overlooked the streets of Numbani and the payload. Although, there is also another photo of a woman and an omnic suit advertising Aetria's Fashion Week which takes place in Numbani, New York and Paris. It is worth noting that New York Fashion week took place from Feb. 9 - 15 this year.
On the other hand, Paris Fashion Week will begin on Feb. 28 and will last until Mar. 8. With this in mind, it seems like this timeframe is some sort of deadline that may hint at a new event or Overwatch hero. In fact, there is a chance that the fashion week might even be a highlight in a possible new animated short.
To further support this theory, the flight arrivals from Paris and New York and now 'On Time' instead of the previously 'Delayed.' While this might seem like a long shot, the robot beside the human in the fashion week advertisement might hint at the new hero. On the other hand, YouTuber Your Overwatch shared that these clues might hint that the next event will involve characters dressing up in formal wear.
Some Speculations for New Event
If so, it would be interesting to see the heroes in extravagant clothing as they fight each other. Despite this, It would also be a bit silly to see Junkrat wearing a tuxedo shooting bombs while Pharah is flying around in a long gown. Even so, Blizzard still continues to remain quiet regarding the new things they plan to release possibly soon.
Even so, this still does not stop fans from speculating potential surprises that the studio has in store. One popular theory is that Blizzard plans to release two characters which could be Doomfist and Efi's creation. Not only would this break Blizzard's tradition of releasing one hero at a time, it would cause a massive popularity surge for the game.
Despite this, it would also come with issues towards balancing as the community needs a good amount time to learn heroes. While this may seem unlikely, it is almost sure that Blizzard will be releasing a new Overwatch hero within the coming weeks or even days. For now, fans will just have to wait for more information.
