Last week, we obtained a Twitter teaser in the official Overwatchaccount sharing the tale of an Overwatch mission deep in Istanbul, Turkey against a collection of omnic forces. Ana, Reinhardt, Torbjorn, and also a Private First Class named Emre Sarioglu endured the struggle... but not easily. Torbjorn nearly perished, and Reinhardt had to step in to save him. Two new teasers have enlarged the story around Operation: White Dome, and all the clues seem to be pointing at a new hero.
This letter doesn't mention Emre whatsoever. In fact, it seems to be focused nearly entirely around Brigitte, Reinhardt's squire and Torbjorn's daughter. We have seen Brigitte from the Honor and Glory cinematic and the comic Dragon Slayer. She's a mechanic, she is buff, and she has complicated feelings about Overwatch within a business. We also understand that Reinhardt was the only one to name her, he is her godfather, and she was born following Operation: White Dome. We also received this teaser, revealing a hammer. It appears to have been developed by Torbjorn, contemplating his sensibilities and mechanical prowess. ("I'll knock some sense into you!" Also seems like something he would say.) While we can not see the whole schematic, the hammer appears to have a transformation, or there's possibly a second weapon hidden under that bit of pinned paper. At this point, it seems obvious all the clues are pointing us to a new hero. The issue is now just if it will be Emre Sarioglu or Torbjorn's daughter, Brigitte. In any event, the trail of teasers resulting in Hero 27 has been unbelievably cool, and it's always amazing to see bits of Overwatch's history emerge.
