I still remember this

Yes.
It seems the hero has similar tech to Hanzo and Genji
Not some literal magical Kitsune like people kept saying
karmic turret
It seems the hero has similar tech to Hanzo and Genji
Tech? that's magic mate
limpid agate
There is no magic in Overwatch
karmic turret
Hanzo and Genji literally form dragons
limpid agate
Yes, that is tech. It was explicitly deconfirmed as magic
The dragons behave near identically to Symmetra's hard light energies.
worthy rose
There is no magic in Overwatch
I was thinking about this
Maybe the fox is a a pet hologram of some sort
limpid agate
Could be.
peak escarp
it is visually consistent with Hanzo's dragons
worthy rose
I would say it’s likely considering the colour
limpid agate
Asa Yamagami was the swordmaster for Genji and Hanzo
So she may have access to the same tech
Her husband likely made Genji's sword as well, which he uses to help channel his dragon
karmic turret
Aren't they spirit dragons?
limpid agate
That's the name of it.
They're not literally spirit dragons
Just like how your magic marker is not literally a magic marker
Mr Clean's Magic Eraser does not dispell dirt from this plane of existence.
karmic turret
Man it makes them a lot less cool now
Ah okay so it's nanotech in hanzos tattoo and then it's embedded in genjis sword
past copper
More or less yes
karmic turret
I'd assume that the new fox hero shares that
Possibly stealing it from the shimadas?
past copper
It’s similar to Zenyatta. He’s not magic, he just has hover tech in his torso
Actually, seems the fox hero is a support
past copper
Whoever they are, seem to be using what looks to be a mix of Baptiste’s and/or Lúcio’s ult and Hanzo’s ult
But, we’ll see. I’m sure someone will bring this mysterious hero up during the event

Well, it’s official. I’m in love with Junker Queen. I want her in the game right now lol

I wanna talk about 22:23. That null sector was hunting the poor omnic guy and the omnic guy starts FLOATING
Also the freaking giant turrets and the titan guy again. I'm so sad it was legit only 2 minutes of PvE 
past copper
Bro. There’s gonna be an actual Null Sector Titan like from Zero Hour. I’m both scared and hyped
I actually thought to myself, would they bring that back as an enemy and they did
It does make sense to bring it back. No way Null Sector only had one of those things
||You know what be cool. If that giant magnet was fixed and activated on Junkertown ||
peak escarp
that sounds like it would be annoying
past copper
I meant for a PvE, but given the circumstances, it might only be in Hero Missons
They did say they wanted to add like a hundred different kinds of Hero Missions, so after seeing that in action, it’s a possibility on that map
opaque tundra
It's been a year and they only showed 3 minutes of PvE. I wanna see more talents and clips of the completed cinematics
past copper
Also, looks like I was wrong and Hammond was in Junkertown longer than expected
At least before Wastelander
peak escarp
at least there was confirmation that PvE is still coming
opaque tundra
Yeah didn't Hammond hide his identity in Junkertown?
peak escarp
which should shut up some of the deniers
past copper
Yeah didn't Hammond hide his identity in Junkertown?
No. Looks like everyone knows he’s a hamster
opaque tundra
No like I swear they just retconned the secret identity part. I gotta reread his bio on the site
past copper
I don’t think he ever actually hid his identity. Because it looks like they wouldn’t have accepted him if he was a machine (his mech)
peak escarp
Hammond modified his escape pod to enter the lucrative mech battle arena of the Scrapyard. Working his way up the ranks, "Wrecking Ball" went from contender to champion, though the pilot's identity remained a mystery to all. Gathering his winnings, Hammond was able to upgrade his mech enough to survive the dangerous trek out of the Junker-controlled Outback.
looks like his identity didn't stay a secret from everyone
past copper
The Queen certainly found out. She’s much smarter than you thought
Still, seems Hammond can act a little big headed. I’d imagine he’d reveal who he is just to make the fighters feel ashamed to have lost to a hamster lol
But it would also probably make them wanna try harder at beating him
Also, seems Junker Queen is gonna have two designs already, because you can actually see her appearance change over the course of her rule

All the animals on Horizon were intelligent. It’s just Winston didn’t want to stay after they killed the scientists and took over and chose to leave. Hammond just wanted to leave because he’s an adventurous little scamp

It be real cute too.

I don’t even think Winston and Hammond have interactions

i think hammond will fit into overwatch by maybe wanting to help winston as he helped him escape, i dunno tho just my theory

Which leads me to think they never really knew each other on Horizon

I don’t even think Winston and Hammond have interactions
they have a couple
Wrecking Ball: *Squeaks*
Winston: What?! Well that explains the drag when I lifted off! I was sure that my calculations were correct.``` Wrecking Ball: *Squeaks*
Winston: You're right, that would be much worse.```See? They’re friendly for the most part in game
In canon I’m pretty sure winston would be happy to see hammond again
Not to mention Hammond can provide a lot for the team.

That web dude…I hope one day we see how big it actually is

ohh no wonder it looks so sloppy
still very curious that reinhardt is linked to the iris though
if indirectly
or whatever that eye is supposed to represent
i wonder why rein is linked to that omnic
opaque tundra
I think if there's any symbol that symbolizes the Iris the shambali symbol would be used
Unless we're talking about a different iris bc I have no idea where you guys are going with this conversation. We don't know what the eye net conspiracy is and we might never find out. Who knows
I might as well throw this all out there but I personally believe that the Iris or more specifically Aurora's sacrifice and omnic sentience is connected to the beginning of the omnic crisis and null sector and all that. The tidbit in deadlock rebels about bob leaving during the omnic crisis and coming back with sentience is a huge hint towards it all and the fact that talon wants Zen for something can't be a simple "create conflict blah blah blah"
Like I REALLY wanna know what the omnics leaving is all about
I'm considering developing an actual theory if we get more lore before pve comes out lol
timid eagle
In the Junker Queen cinematic, it's interesting that Wrecking Ball/Hammond was part of her army in that montage.
I thought that only her and Bruce knew about Hammond's true identity, as wasn't it a secret that Wrecking Ball is piloted by a hamster for the citizens of Junkertown?
peak escarp
it only said that nobody knew his identity before becoming champion
timid eagle
Oh.
So they're just cool with a teddy bear-sized hamster among their clan?
Man, I feel like a stupid dummy.

junkertown only hates omnics tbh
because their omnium exploded and all they’ve ever known is omnic wars

Wasn't iris an early name/ design for echo?
What's this then?
peak escarp
the Iris is also the thing the Shambali believe in
which is why Echo got renamed, to avoid confusion
karmic turret
I'm not saying iris is the confirmed name
Since most of the stuff on that image above was written on
But it definitely looks somewhat like an early design of echo
Just like how brig had used one of her comic designs
limpid agate
@karmic turret Yes, its an early name for her.
But its not relevant as an early name anymore either

I was purely talking about the design of the omnic looking similar to early echo concepts

it could've just been that it spread or she experimented with it
not sure if previous art can be considered canon

Dunno if someone has already mentioned this, but Junker Queen's first name, Odessa, shares the same name as a Ukranian place which was called that cause the ruler at the time was heavily inspired by Homer's Odyssey. So with The Wastelander cinematic, I think it's a cool parallel how Odysseus and Dez both left their homes, went through several ordeals, and came back home several years later to rule over it.
peak escarp
it's a great parallel
mighty sierra
So is ball just vibing in junkertown right now? Or did he leave after a while ik theres orgins skins and he was seen in the story but he just kinda seems there lol
past copper
So. Anyone got any ideas where Junkertown, Mason Howl, and Junker Queen all fit into the Overwatch timeline?
We’ve got 13 years to work with there
peak escarp
apparently there was a description of the short that says Junker Queen has ruled Junkertown for a decade
peak escarp
"a decade" could be 10 years or it could be rounding
her song also says "fought the world since seventeen"
so maybe she was 17 during that fight, and is 27 now
or was she 17 when she started fighting in general and was in her 20s when she fought Howl (making her 30-something now)
we won't know until we get her age
I wish she was older
past copper
Well, you can at least see the difference between her age in Wastelander and how she looks in the game
Honestly, doesn’t look like more than a couple of years have passed
peak escarp
physical appearance isn't a very good indicator of how long has passed
people dont visually age much between their 20s and 30s
and Blizzard's art style makes everyone look younger than they should
past copper
We’ll see, but I’m betting she’s at least in her late twenties. Maybe 28 give or take
grand wedge
She says she fought since she's 17. Makes sense, the Outback seems Mad Max crazy wild. She was cast out roughly 13 years ago, because Mason threw her family out. Maybe when he became the King? She looks 10-12 on the screenshot :
So when she defeat him, she is maybe 23-25 years old, top.
And she rules Junkertown for 10 years, so now, she is 33-35 years old. Which kinda fit her look IMO
past copper
You know, I just thought of this, but with environmental changes, I’d love to see Junkertown hit with a dust storm

past copper
It does. But really, I think she might be exaggerating only a little to tell an epic story
Regardless, I’m curious to know more about those feral Omnics
You gotta wonder if they’re the remains from the Omnium they destroys years ago
peak escarp
the remains of the omnium is Junkertown
past copper
Maybe. But that doesn’t mean the Omnics couldn’t have been from there
It was gifted to them after the crisis after all
So it was probably supposed to be building normal Omnics until it was destroyed
peak escarp
yes
past copper
At the least, it probably managed to build hundreds of Omnics that escaped into the unforgiving outback and became feral
Honestly makes me wonder, is there another Omnic group hiding in the Australian Outback?
You got the Shambali, Null Sector, and the Gwishin. So another group of Omnics isn’t unlikely
peak escarp
depends if Bastion officially joins or not

having a description on a skin doesn't make it a canon skin

Hi Does anyone know the time period between overwatch going underground to being supported in the overwatch 2 short zero hour?
I trying to make fanfic of a overwatch crossover so i trying to get a good timeline set.
opaque tundra
Overwatch was disbanded 5 years ago and overwatch 2 begins a year after the present time so there's roughly 6ish years between overwatch 1 and 2 if that helps
worn juniper
@opaque tundra Do you know where the shorts take place in the timeline?

I have no idea about recent shorts but I know there was an image of a timeline that was shown at an event or something but it's outdated

New blood shows how Cassidy recruits some heroes and then there's Zero Hour

Does anyone know what time each hero joined reborn overwatch in order?
Zero hour : Winston Mei Tracer, joined by Reinhardt Brigitte Echo Genji Mercy
Then you have Cassidy recruiting Pharah, Zarya, Baptiste, Dva. At the end of the comic they are in route to meet with Winston and Co
We know that Lucio and Sojourn are going to join but it’s going to be told in the PVE in 2023

Thanks For the link and the help @peak escarp @grand wedge
past copper
hopefully they will address this in the story
They have to. Sure, they’re the only ones with experience in dealing with Null Sector and Talon
peak escarp
the Blizzconline panel indicated that it was still part of the story
past copper
But the law can’t just turn a blind eye on something deemed illegal by the UN
Even if Overwatch is saving the world
fringe thistle
they'll probably revoke that because of null sector 2.0
the world needs overwatch again
cosmic crest
Not nececarily
The UN will probably task Helix with handling Null Sector
I think some individual nations might choose to support Neo Overwatch though, such as South Korea
fringe thistle
i hope thats what its actually called
or at least a new prefix/suffix
just calling it Overwatch again doesnt feel right
cosmic crest
I'm quite sure they'll just be called Overwatch
I only reffer to them as Neo Overwatch for ease of understanding when discussing the lore
That and the word Neo is fun to use
opal nexus
the average old overwatch fan: CORRUPT, LOVES KILLING TIN CANS, TOO AMBITIOUS
the average neo overwatch enjoyer: saves the world because no one will, so charming and optimistic that they will literally ask anyone for help
LOVES KILLING TIN CANS

i just wanted them to be called something like that for ease of differentiation
instead of saying "old overwatch"
idk
worthy rose
I can't tell if that's her new default or some new skin
Because of the esports decals on her mech

It’s her default new look

So esports exists in the overwatch world
I suppose its just a collective term for gaming sports
I like that it says GREMLIN on her mech as well
past copper
Yes. E-sports exists in Overwatch
Of which Hana has won several trophies from competitions
worthy rose
Ik that much. Just assumed the esports decal was branding

It is. Hana has several sponsorships so branding is normal

they were probably referring to like
RL branding
then again this is the same universe that retconned starcraft from existence

then again this is the same universe that retconned starcraft from existence
They didn't retcon Starcraft. Starcraft still exist in the world of Overwatch.
Dva played Starcraft with her dad.

oh true

D.Va’s redesign is lore
By this logic if skins are lore then rein is actually a secret train conductor
And Dva is a police officer??
And a bee?
jovial spade
just calling it Overwatch again doesnt feel right
Call it Overwatch 2
peak escarp
By this logic if skins are lore then rein is actually a secret train conductor
not all skins are lore
some represent parts of the hero's backstory
some are just silly costumes

@peak escarp dunno if its been posted already yet, but with today's Junker Queen Gameplay Trailer, you can see new looks in more detail like Soldier, Ana, Roadhog, and Junkrat who we havent seen yet
I can post image links

aye there's a good one

we have, its good to get different angles though
fringe thistle
his hair is no longer singed and he’s not covered in soot anymore
bro went to therapy and took his normal pills
well ok his face still looks a little crazy but i like this character development
his and roadhog’s gadgets no longer look scrapped together either, i wonder what that means in context of lore. his rip tire looks much more sophisticated and high tech than the pile of junk it was in ow1
light isle
bro went to therapy and took his normal pills
The idea of junkrat calming down and working at a 9 to 5 job has just entered my mind because of this sentence
fringe thistle
i wonder if he found a place to pursue his inventing passion
i always got the impression he was secretly a genius who just acts really dumb, like he did built fully functional weaponry out of pure junk
light isle
He could work for torbjorn
fringe thistle
id actually love to see him join the ironclad guild
light isle
Lol yeah
fringe thistle
him wearing goggles on his head really makes me think he’s a serious blacksmith now
his frag launcher looks the exact same as ow1 though, unsure if they just haven’t finished the new one or if that IS the new one
since his rip tire is so upgraded i hope that’s just the ow1 launcher as placeholder
past copper
Do that’s my boy’s Junkrat new look! I’m love it! He looks like an even bigger badass
Also love the goggles and swept back hair
A nice little touch too is that his goggle lenses are different colors.

I kinda doubt it. That’s just a recolored version of his Junker skin, but idk

His Junker skin is canon
tall sleet
in my heart mayhem is cannon then
past copper
fringe thistle
would mayhem and junker hammond be cannon though
junker hammond is canon
he was in the short

Wait really?
tall sleet
It is indeed
tall sleet
thats why i brought it up LOL
fringe thistle
its been there forever lol
tall sleet
look at his little mohawk
tall sleet
what are some other canon skins in ow that aren't their like .. default skin
tall sleet
ngl i hate all of the "talon" skins except baptistes! sombra and widow don't look as good as usual
peak escarp
not all the archives skins
fringe thistle
not all the archives skins
when i said “archives” i actually meant the pve missions lol mb
tall sleet
bastet and shrike ana cannon?
fringe thistle
both yup
peak escarp
yes
fringe thistle
both are aliases ana used in cairo
tho im not sure if thats actually how they look in canon
in canon “shrike” ana is default ana with a mask
not the purple recolor
tall sleet
ik shrike ana was in one of sombras videos
fringe thistle
have no idea whats up with bastet
tall sleet
in her little uhhhh web of info
fringe thistle
im guessing the bastet skin we have in game is not accurate either
fringe thistle
so is it literally a recolored version of her default outfit
like in canon
does she just have 2 versions of that gun and her coat
peak escarp
I guess
fringe thistle
thats why i think lore related epics are confusing lol
but yeah this is what i meant by shrike ana not being accurate
an accurate shrike would be her default outfit with a mask, which i think shouldve been her default anyway im ngl
like how soldier has a mask
would be cool if she was actually referred to in game as "Shrike" instead of "Ana" too tbh
tall sleet
until now i didnt realize anas coat had holes in it
idk why that upsets me but it does
quaint shoal
I don’t know if this is classified as lore, but isn’t there going to be a campaign in overwatch 2?
quaint shoal
But isn’t it free?
peak escarp
"selling" as in, reason to play it
quaint shoal
Ah I see
peak escarp
but it was taking longer than expected, so they decided to separate it from the PvP and launch that early
the PvE will be out some time next year
tall sleet
o unrelated to this discussion
but why does mercy look so young compared to her other overwatch members? is it cause of her like
knowledge of science and health etc etc
green wyvern
shes pretty young by overwatch standards
tall sleet
oh damn i thought she was a founding member of overwatch
peak escarp
she's not in the same generation as Ana and Reinhardt and Soldier
she's in the middle generation, like Cassidy, Genji and Tracer
tall sleet
ooh okay that makes much more sense
fringe thistle
there are other inconsistencies with in game skins as well
im pretty sure blackwatch genji is supposed to have a prototype model of the shuriken he uses in the present day instead of what he has in game, but its just to spice up the in game skin ig
also that took forever to send, wow discord
peak escarp
the skins aren't 100% lore accurate
fringe thistle
yeah
peak escarp
but many of them do reference the lore
green wyvern
i generally dont like to associate any of the skins with lore if i can since overwatch is fully noncanon
fringe thistle
im pretty sure cassidy had the same revolver he uses now when he was in the deadlock gang
but the deadlock skin has a diff pistol
i think deadlock ashe is probably the only skin thats like 100% lore accurate since it has the exact same rifle model, which is a family heirloom
there are other ones that are clear references but not the exact appearance
i think crusader and balderich rein might be completely accurate though
peak escarp
the game version has to include the armor/shoulder pads for his silhouette
fringe thistle
yep
they added all that extra junk to him to match the silhouette
highkey want this as a skin tho
the color palette on his outfit is so slick
maybe when they finally decide to go back to lore skins for archives lol
peak escarp
I think this is the closest you'll get
limpid agate
Thats not close
fringe thistle
i really hope not
peak escarp
Archives is dead anyway
fringe thistle
i know thats a very loose interpretation but thats barely even a reference
peak escarp
events as we knew them are pretty much dead, replaced by seasons
fringe thistle
like its not even the same color palette
peak escarp
his hair is the same, that's about it
peak escarp
they could still do lore-themed seasons
fringe thistle
they could keep doing the weekly challenges i wouldnt mind, just please dont make them exclusive
deadlock ashe being exclusive makes me lose my mind
tall sleet
I feel like a lot of the challenge skins will come back with the battlepasses
fringe thistle
...oh nah
there would be a riot if they brought back old stuff for a battle pass
not a great move
just add them to the shop imo
tall sleet
yerr that too
fringe thistle
wtf im shocked
symmetra's viskar skin is actually accurate to a T
now im trying to hunt for differences between the in game skin and the appearance in lore lol
i wonder if reaper always had those dual shotguns or not
tall sleet
in soldiers origin story he's using two guns in the background
fringe thistle
omg lmao
im just thinking of how he reloads in canon
like he just throws them on the ground and pulls out new ones in ow because cool, but i imagine he has to actually reload in actual canon stuff
theres an interesting bit there too because cass says "you weren't given those guns to toss around like trash" to him so i wonder what that actually means
cosmic crest
I was about to mention that
fringe thistle
seems like there's an actual story behind his guns there
cosmic crest
It's in reference to the fact that he throws his guns away and pulls out new ones
fringe thistle
idk
green wyvern
i wouldnt be surprised if he carries like two sets of shotguns lmao
fringe thistle
It's mentioned in Code of Violence as well
actually? lmfao what
wait so how does that work in lore then
does he actually just carry multiple shotguns everywhere
cosmic crest
Pirates and gunslingers irl would often carry multiple guns so they wouldn't have to relaoad
fringe thistle
im confused where the game logic ends and the real logic begins
cosmic crest
so his shotguns literally cant reload or what
They can, but he dosen't bother
fringe thistle
his shotguns only carry 4 shells, so what does he do when he runs out of ammo
cosmic crest
What does any hero do when they run out of ammo?
fringe thistle
nah im talking like lore here lol
cosmic crest
Me too
fringe thistle
lots of the designs have ammo belts and spare shells/grenades on them
digital forum
What does any hero do when they run out of ammo?
Hanzo style, whack them with a bow
cosmic crest
when does he do that in Code of Violence?
I remember a line about him "replacing his weapons"
Replacing. Not reloading
fringe thistle
hell reaper's blackwatch outfit had lots of spare shells and grenades
peak escarp
stairs. Reyes landed hard on the lower level as Sombra emerged from her stealth
mode.
“Clear the area next time,” Reyes said, replacing his weapons.
“Tranquilo. People like me are the reason people like you have a job.”```replacing, as in reholstering
cosmic crest
Huh
fringe thistle
so he does just reload like a normal person
peak escarp
since just before this he pulls out his guns and jumps down the stairwell
fringe thistle
i was about to say does this mf really just carry multiple shotguns at once
cosmic crest
There is still the interaction with Cassidy
peak escarp
not on the player model
cosmic crest
And while I don't think we seem him pull out new ones, he does thow his guns away at the end of Infiltration
fringe thistle
how do you even holster shotguns that big
im just thinking like
how does this work
where
fringe thistle
the only reason im questioning this so hard is because they actually bothered for tracer
https://vxtwitter.com/ClearTogether/status/1536859211002368001?s=20&t=AAHatrchBcg2cLet19k3Rg
like they actually bothered to think of a way for tracer to get rid of her guns instead of them disappearing
same for genji and his shurikens
peak escarp
her OW2 design doesn't account for it
fringe thistle
seems like they thought of that too lol
like they do think about these things sometimes but not always i guess
peak escarp
how? they're in her hands
fringe thistle
they're holstered on her hip it looks like
i do like it when they pay attention to detail like this
makes it feel more immersive
peak escarp
you can see earlier in the shot that she's just holding them
fringe thistle
that code of violence example just stood out to me because it mentioned holstering his guns specifically and i was like where tho
ig his actual lore design has holsters that just arent on the in game model
also yeah i guess her pulse pistols are hardlight now or something
https://vxtwitter.com/ClearTogether/status/1536859246679076865?s=20&t=AAHatrchBcg2cLet19k3Rg
or whatever that is
prolly just flashy vfx
limpid agate
I think that's just her sending them back in time into her gauntlets
fringe thistle
sometimes it feels like there's logic behind it and sometimes it doesn't
limpid agate
Or forward or whatever
limpid agate
Her reload animation is similar
fringe thistle
maybe she just sends the pulse pistols back in time for storage
and pulls them out whenever
and her learning how to do this is character development because she doesnt need physical holsters anymore
reach of the century lmao
massive brain
i like to overthink this kinda stuff its fun
opal nexus
they did change up tracers gauntlets ever since blizzcon 2019
maybe she actually has room for the guns now
tall sleet
Is there a list of all hero redesigns seen so far for overwatch 2?
There’s a lot of debate over people liking or hating junks new design but I like it actually but I’m wondering if there’s a compilation somewhere

we've seen all of the hero redesigns in various trailers
I made a graphic with most of them, but I haven't updated it for recent reveals
fringe thistle
i really wish they’d update that website
grand wedge
The website is down. I really hope we’ll have the updated biographies of the heroes up at some point, along with an official timeline of some sort, because a lot of people are confused about the lore and what happened when

I’m sure the two actually discovered soap and new clothes
Plus, all Junkrat really did was seem to brush his hair back, upgrade his riptire, and put on new goggles and pants
fringe thistle
they look matured
junk esp
also hog’s new hook seems to have the same inner serrated edge that junk’s new tire does, which suggests junk made him new weapons
past copper
fringe thistle
they gave junk rogaine lol
past copper
They don’t look that different. Just new clothes and look like they bathed. With Hog sporting a new haircut and both upgrading their weapon

his hairloss is probably from being in the radiated outback
once he leaves, his hair grows in properly

Yup. Plus, Junkrat still has the burning spots in his hair

hog looks like a biker now
he’s more punk looking, i dig the nose ring on his mask

Well. We’ve seen all redesigns for everyone except for Echo
Safest to say she might be left outta the loop when the game drops
sturdy sparrow
we might not get one since her cinematic was her getting introduced into overwatch 2
past copper
But she could get a new look in later updates or something
sturdy sparrow
cassidy gave her his medal i think and then said for her to do it instead of him,
so since she is the most recent in the story line (other then the cinematic trailer for ow 2) she prolly wont get a redesign
past copper
I mean, there’s plenty of time though. The story mode and other PvE won’t drop with the PvP after all
sturdy sparrow
yes but echo will still be in the pvp and the beta and there is barley anyone really working on the game in the first place
50-ish people
so they dont have the time now to do another redesign in time
for the beta
but they also just might not have released it yet
karmic turret
I'd be surprised if it cost extra
its blizzard
Because echo is our most recent hero, she isn't getting a new design

The first map we will get with hero teasers in it is going to be Portugal

one of the support heroes could be linked to the Portugal map

god we're gonna have to wait till beta 3 to see those portugal hero hints huh

if that's when we see the Portugal map
peak escarp
we'll get to see Lucio's home

I kinda think Portugal might have something to do with Ana
opal nexus
because of the reveal trailer?
past copper
Just a theory, but seemed the devs subtly hinted at the maps they showed with heroes looking over them being connected
opal nexus
could have to do with mohawk guy but we're just shooting at the dark at this point
past copper
It’s just an assumption. It may be something personal to them either from the past or to be revealed in the story
Tracer in Kings Row (likely her past with the Uprising and Alive)
Soldier: 76 in Monte Carlo (possibly hunting down Talon)
Zenyatta in India Temple (I think that’s the map)
Winston in Toronto (reuniting with Sojourn and the rest of Overwatch)
Lúcio in Rio (Null Sector invasion)
Ana in Portugal (possibly hunting Talon)

portugal could have some sort of resistance movement against organisations like talon

zenyatta is in another section of nepal btw
Well, it could still be a personal thing for him. There seem to be a few temples dedicated to the Shambali
opal nexus
ja
although i am a tad confused on genji calling the temple his home when zenyatta left it behind and met genji along his travels unless zenyatta decided to leave after taking in genji and genji was still content in hanging out with the other monks?
past copper
Or Genji could be referring to any Shambali temple as his home
Or even Zenyatta being his master as his “home”
peak escarp
wait when does Genji call the temple his home?
past copper
In the first trailer for Overwatch 2
opal nexus
errrr i was referring to the line genji says in nepal
"this is my home, as much as any other" iirc
then again i probably interpreted that line wrong
peak escarp
you mean the 2019 trailer?
past copper
Yes. I remember hearing Genji say that in the trailer as he approaches a meditating Zenyatta
At least I think he did. Been some time since watching that
peak escarp
errrr i was referring to the line genji says in nepal

Moira says that on Oasis
peak escarp
Genji does say "this is my home now" on Nepal Village
opal nexus
just nepal village specifically?
peak escarp
I think? it's been a while since I've heard it
but you can literally see his room on the map
opal nexus
if so that clears it up a lot for me
peak escarp
past copper
Still, think the maps with heroes there has something to do with them personally
Which we will have to wait and see whenever we get the story mode
opal nexus
ya i knew about that room
genji has quite a lot of swords huh
past copper
Unless we get voice lines based on the maps
opal nexus
portugal voice lines could be a pretty big hint
peak escarp
the dev said that there's clues on the the Portugal map that relate to a new faction
and that new faction is connected to a future hero
past copper
Maybe. But doesn’t mean Ana is unrelated
She does seem to have been busy besides working with Jack

ana is still in egypt yeah?
did they say anything about jack recently?
