Latest Overwatch Leak Seems To Confirm That Brigitte Is The Next Hero

Overwatch's Next Hero

Blizzard Entertainment has been keeping fans on their toes over the past week, as they have been churning out the teases for Overwatch‘s next hero. Everything we have received so far has all but confirmed that the next character to join the fight will be none other that Brigitte Lindholm. Being Torbjorn’s daughter and seemingly the understudy of her father and possible godfather Reinhardt, the sensible character we met in the Honor and Glory animated short just might be revealed soon.

In a post to the game’s Japanese Twitter account, what appears to be a leak points the finger to Brigitte as Overwatch‘s next hero. While previous teases have also alluded to this, many fans aren’t quite sold on the idea because Blizzard does enjoy a good misdirect. However, when the Japanese Twitter account went to post one of those teasers, they instead posted the file name for the picture. Check it out below:

Clear as day, we say Brigitte’s name towards the end of the file name. Unless Blizzard is playing all of us, we really see no reason why they would name the character in the file unless she was in fact Overwatch‘s next hero. Of course, as it is with any leak, salt should be aplenty. However, with everything released up until this point hinting at Brigitte, we can just go ahead and assume she’s coming to the game. You know, until Blizzard tells us otherwise.

Overwatch is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. We can expect the studio to make an announcement regarding the next hero any day now, so keep it tuned to Don’t Feed the Gamers as we remain on watch. For other gaming news going on right now, check out the following:
