Do you think new characters are inevitable for Overwatch? Like most of the characters mentioned or briefly seen (pic related; that unknown hero) could possibly be up for "new heroes" like Tracer mentioned not to mention it would be an easy and inevitable cash grab

What about Doomfist, will there be a return or a new successor? How about Fusionator or Sound quake? (Lucio isn't sound quake, no chest missles)

>Do you think new characters are inevitable for Overwatch?

Yeah. I think it's pretty obvious that blizzard has a bunch of heroes in the works, or at least concepts for them.

I honestly wouldnt expect a new hero to get added for a couple months though.

More Doomfist art

>>337862323
It's shallow enough that I think it will get old real fast without new heroes to inject some life blood. It's not like a serious moba where small balance changes can change the whole meta and completely freshen things up.
>>
They already confirmed there will be new heroes added and they will be free
>>
Yes, shortly after release two new heroes are being added. One is called Sombra, and the other is likely Soundquake. They're both free. All maps and heroes will be free.
>>
They will add more, but it might be a while. I suspect it will be a few months at least before another new character. Probably doomfist based on the teasing.
>>
Numbani stage has you transfer Doomfist's fist, if you haven't looked at the Payload. Not sure if that works for against the odds of Doomfist or anyone using the Doomfistfist, though.

They've already said they are, they have 2 in the works right now.
>>
>>337863029
Sombra is being reworked from what I heard, so they wont be released until later than anticipated

Whether Blizzard adds DLC characters is not a matter of "if", but "when".

It's gonna happen.

What the fuck I never noticed that rad-ass hazmat motherfucker.
I want that shit
>>
>>337863476
Oh cool I had no idea. Here's hoping she's not a worthless piece of shit when she gets turned into a playable character then.

>>337863663
Yeah obviously. They need to add new characters and maps to retain player interest. But but they're gonna be free tho so that's great.
>>
they've already announced that 40 more characters will be added
>>
>>337863505
>>337863801
Yea, that Radioactive Man looking guy looks cool.

>>337863931
They said 21 heroes were included "free" with the purchase of base game.

I cant find the source for future heroes but it seems logical to include new heroes for free, while also allowing people to buy coins for cosmetics. Some would spend hundreds of dollars just to get all the cosmetics, and for every other new hero's cosmetics thereafter.

They need to add
1) A sexy robot girl
2) A luchador

Already checking Mexican hero off the list with "Sombra"

If you paid attention to any other Blizzard game, you'd see that their products are typically supported nearly forever and tend to get a lot of updates.

Expect Overwatch to never go on sale, but expect it to get continual content updates.

>Expect Overwatch to never go on sale, but expect it to get continual content updates.

It'll go on sale eventually but not any time soon. WoW has every expansion sans the most current one for $20 and Diablo gets half off sales frequently enough. It's not a stretch they wouldn't do the same with Overwatch.
>>
Well yeah.

Instead of new weapons like tf2 its new heroes instead.

This means they are easier to balance too.

Also you wont have a tracer on your team and have to go IS THAT A TRACERKNIGHT?!!?

Fucking. Obviously.

>"We're really excited about the 21 heroes in the game. We have ideas for additional maps and heroes that we'd like to add to the game," said Kaplan. "We thought about this and decided that the best way to add them to the game is to patch them in as free content and not as DLC. Hopefully, that alleviates some concerns that people have."

It's fucking amazing, it means I don't have to worry about not having all the same map-packs that my mates have.

I want to believe, /v/.

I know we're talking about Blizzard here, but after all these years of Triple-A jewery I finally have this glimpse of hope again, that for once I get what I've been promised.
With frequently added free content funded solely by the initial buying price and by people who're willing to buy additional loot-crates that only contain cosmetics you also get in your typical lvl-up box.

It may be naive but still, I want to believe

>>337868168
They can easily make other things cost money.
There will always let certainly be a horde mode/PvE dungeons more that is sold separately for example.
>>
>>337865747
There's a lot of brown peoples in the world. If they're globally recruiting them there'd probably only be one white guy in a group of four or so right.
>>
they are releasing two new heroes with the Overwatch Movie.

>>337868403
Except the best soldiers are white. The top Spec Ops groups in the world are majority white.
>>
>>337868168
I'm actually most surprised about the fact that they've adopted the crate system without the need of having to buy keys to open them.

>>337868295
That's not gonna happen. They've already said they wont charge for additional game-modes. I mean, unless they lie, of course, which could very well happen.
>>
>>337868546
This is a video game. There's also robots and gorillas.

>>337862669
could doomfist be an inherited title?

>they are releasing two new heroes with the Overwatch Movie.

It doesn't say that anywhere, where are you getting this information? Your ass? Also it's not really a movie, they're just playing all the cinematics back-to-back.
>>
>>337868753
Pretty much.

>we kind of started thinking how fun would it be if the Doomfist character is actually more of a generational hero, like you see in some of the the big superhero universes. Potentially any number of people had been The Flash or any number of people had been a Green Lantern. And there's kind of this sense of generational identity. So Doomfist was kind of just a fun riff on that.
