An alleged leak on the Nintendo Switch shop’s news feed has caused excitement among Overwatch 2 fans, as it appears to reveal the identity of the game’s newest hero. The leaked image, which has been circulating on social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter, showcases Mauga, the Talon assault tank character, wielding dual gatling guns. The accompanying text states that players can try out Mauga in a limited-time trial, with a free trial weekend set to begin today. This trial is expected to end by the weekend’s conclusion.
Mauga has long been speculated as the next tank hero in Overwatch 2, especially after the release of the Samoa control map at the start of season seven. Blizzard had cleverly included hints and references to Mauga within the map, further fueling fans’ anticipation. The hero’s name itself has Samoan origins, leading many to believe that he hails from Samoa.
Blizzard initially introduced Mauga to fans through a digital short story that delves into Baptiste’s backstory. Since its publication in June 2019, tank mains have eagerly awaited Mauga’s arrival in the game. With this leaked image and the upcoming official unveiling during the BlizzCon opening ceremony, fans are buzzing with excitement to finally get their hands on this formidable new tank hero.
