Overwatch hero 27 hints point to Torbjörn's daughter Brigitte
Is Brigitte about to become hero #27?

Blizzard has started dropping clues about the next Overwatch character, and it could be someone you’ve already seen in a video.

If everything follows the same general schedule as last time then Overwatch may be ready to unveil its 27th playable character by the end of next week.

Blizzard started teasing a reveal via a text description of an old Overwatch mission, which features a character that’s never been mentioned before: Emre Sarioglu – a common male name in Turkey.

Although he’s almost certainly involved in some way, it seems far too straightforward for him to actually be the new character. Especially as the mission was over 26 years ago in the game’s fictional history.

Instead, fan theories currently favour Torbjörn’s daughter Brigitte as being the new addition.

A second hint appeared over the weekend and involves Torbjörn writing home to his wife, where he mentions a promise he made to Reinhardt about naming his then unborn daughter – who presumably went on to be Brigitte.

Torbjörn’s appearance in both clues is certainly suspicious, but fans also point to the fact that Brigitte already has a character design and has appeared in Reinhardt’s Honor and Glory video.

That still seems pretty slim evidence to us, but it’s got most fans convinced that Brigitte will be a playable character in the future – and probably by next month.
