Theories suggest Overwatch’s new hero could be a spider tank

Speculation surrounding the new Overwatch hero continues, and an interesting theory has popped up.

As you already know, as teased yesterday, Efi Oladele is an 11-year-old robotics prodigy from Numbani, the city where the Unity Celebration took place. This is where the gauntlet of Doomfist is location, and where an attempt to steal it took place.

Efi is interested in Omnics, she lives around then in peace and all that so it goes without saying she wants to create one to help mankind. This Omnic could be Anchora, a female Omnic quadruped tank hero who was outed by a 4chan member who also leaked the Lunar festival.

Enough of the recap. You can read all of that in the previous posts. Here’s the interesting bit: hints one the new hero seem to have been present in both the Sombra reveal trailer and concept art featuring a mechanical spider (thanks, PCgamesN) Blizzard showed at BlizzCon 2014 during a panel.

In Arekkz’s video you get a look at the hints from the Sombra trailer. The eye symbol is similar to Efi’s facial paint, there is a robot of sorts that looks like a spider and it connected to the gauntlet of Doomfist. Yeah, there he is again despite the fact he is not the new hero per Blizzard. Maybe someday then, or as part of an event.

Anyway, enjoy the continued teasing and my lovely MS Paint skills in the screencap above.

When the new Overwatch character is fully revealed we let you know of course.
