Overwatch 2 Accidental Leak Reveals New Tank Hero For 2024

BlizzCon 2023 has been an exciting time for Overwatch 2 fans. While we've seen the introduction of the formidable Tank hero Mauga and the unveiling of the dynamic game mode Clash, the hero roster for 2024 has also begun to take shape. But in the midst of official announcements, players spotted an accidental leak by Blizzard devs, revealing a sneak peek at a new Tank hero on the horizon for Overwatch 2.

During a presentation that was focused on Venture, Season 10's DPS hero, attentive Overwatch 2 enthusiasts noticed an unfamiliar face in the line-up of heroes. Positioned between Sigma and Winston, this mysterious Tank hero caught the community's attention, and players have been abuzz with speculation about who this enigmatic character might be.

While the true identity of this hero remains shrouded in mystery, Overwatch fans have been busy piecing together clues. Some have delved into concept artwork, others have revisited old game trailers, all in an effort to uncover the hero's background.

One player's theory suggests the hero's name could begin with a letter between S and W, leading them to speculate that this new Tank hero might be SoundQuake, a character featured in the game's inaugural cinematic trailer. They point to the hero's rock/punk artist appearance and older design, potentially linking SoundQuake to existing heroes like Ana, Torb, and Rein.

Moreover, Blizzard has demonstrated an interest in introducing characters from the game's lore, making SoundQuake a plausible addition.

Despite these intriguing theories, it's probable that we won't receive further details about the leaked Tank hero anytime soon. For now, Overwatch 2 fans can revel in the recent arrival of Mauga, along with a first look at Venture and Space Ranger, keeping the excitement level high during BlizzCon this weekend.
