The Overwatch Community Is Buzzing About Junkertown's Queen
The newest map in Overwatch, Junkertown, has some clues about a character fans are speculating might be the next playable hero in the game.
When Junkertown was announced, it was narrated by a mysterious voice of a character who claimed to be Queen to the town and has a distinct distaste for Omnics. Until the map was released, however, the small bit of dialogue from the character was all fans had to go in. Almost immediately, the community discovered posters of the character around Junkertown, giving people a design to visualize.
This isn't the first time Blizzard has gone cryptic with hinting at new characters. To varying degrees, different characters have been teased both in-game and outside of it, even before the game officially launched, as well as all the post-launch characters. If Queen is intended to join the Overwatch cast, she would be the first character after Blizzard's announced slate of DLC characters that included Anna, Sombra, Orisa, and Doomfist.
Assuming Queen is coming to the game, how would you want her to play?
