During BlizzCon 2023, a new tank hero was teased for Overwatch 2. Recently, a player discovered a potential hint about this hero on the New Junk City Flashpoint map. The hint comes in the form of a character on a fight poster, wearing a green jacket and sporting green hair, resembling the hero icon shown at BlizzCon. If this is indeed the same character, it would make them the fifth Junker on the roster, joining Junkrat, Junker Queen, Wrecking Ball, and Roadhog. Fans speculate that this hero may be a “discount Doomfist wannabe” based on the metal arm and the fighting match theme of the poster.
However, some players expressed disappointment that most of the Junkers are tanks, with no support heroes among them. One fan humorously suggested the idea of a Junker support who reluctantly heals others despite their desire to kill and destroy. While there isn’t much information available about the upcoming tank hero, it is expected that more details will be revealed in due time. In the meantime, players are eagerly awaiting the full release of Mauga in season eight of Overwatch 2.
