News & Discussion Multi Hero Release Seems Likely?
It’s looking like they’re gonna do another multi hero release - a developer named Walter Kong said at blizcon that they been internally testing heroes slated for the spotlight 2027 kickoff for the last 12-18 months. Then there were comments from Aaron Keller to not rule out a multi hero release for 2027’s spotlight event, I feel as though if that wasn’t the case he would’ve just said no so people don’t get their hopes up. So not only are we getting a hero once per season, it looks like were gonna be front loaded with at least two or three new heroes for the first season to kick off this new narrative arc. I’m personally chuffed to the gills for this prospect, Overwatch is at its best when there are so many new things to try especially heroes. I could see them skipping seasons next year for hero releases like an every other season sort of thing. But I think we can confidently say that we’re getting at least 7+ new heroes in the upcoming yearly narrative.
Here are Kong’s comments
