Heroes are the soul of the Overwatch franchise. There’s no fun in the game without trying out different moves of heroes and getting the job done. Each of Overwatch 2’s heroes has a unique personality and abilities.

While the latest entry in the franchise launched with a huge cast of characters, developer Blizzard Entertainment aims to expand the game’s universe even further with new names and faces.

Throughout the game’s runtime, the devs plans aim to push plenty of new heroes to expand the roster and provide players with new experiences. One of the best parts of being a player is guessing who the next hero in the game could be based on clues and hints. In this article, we will discuss exactly that.

Overwatch 2 hero speculation

Ever since the game came out in October, players have been speculating which character will embrace the roster. Blizzard is known for making non-hero lore characters into playable heroes. That’s the reason players are always scanning external lore pieces such as short stories and animated shorts for potential new heroes.

One of the characters in the game that players believe could be turned into a playable hero is Mauga. The powerful character is speculated to be a tank if he gets a chance to be a playable hero. While it’s not confirmed if Mauga will ever be made playable, many believe he is an ideal candidate for the hero treatment.

Apart from Mauga, there’s a lot of speculation around the game’s next hero. Players should closely watch out for any external lore materials that Blizzard rolls out alongside any hints or teasers since those are the best indicator of what the game could hold in the future,

Ramattra is set to release at the beginning of season two. After that, Overwatch 2 won’t witness another new hero until season four due to the development team’s alternating seasons content plan.

This will give fans a lot of time to look for hints and put out their thoughts on who they think could embrace the hero title on Overwatch 2. It’s pretty likely that Blizzard will pull someone from the existing lore, or the devs might surprise fans and bring someone completely new to the game.
