Blizzard makes it clear that they want to return to the old Overwatch “cycle”. Perhaps it was decided that it is worth returning to non-obvious hints.
Yesterday, the Overwatch 2 beta was officially announced. This information positively surprised many people, although it will still take some time to start. Now, during these few weeks, players will be analyzing all the smaller and larger “hints” that Blizzard has placed or will include in their announcements.
The first analyzes so far have been limited mainly to combing the materials available on the official website. The first look at the altered appearance of a character or a statue called ‘Magnus’.
Magnus in Overwatch?
It’s definitely too early to jump to conclusions that Magnus will be a new character, but nothing can be ruled out at the moment. If Blizzard wants to return to the old Overwatch, then maybe they also want to return to such hints.
Magnus was spotted by a Reddit user with the nickname “voidwhile”, who pointed out to the community that he was a theoretically unknown character.
Magnus can be a completely meaningless side character, and he can be extremely important. It is known that there will be new characters in Overwatch 2, so there is a chance that Magnus will be one of them.
At the moment, however, there is absolutely no confirmation except for the theory and conjecture of the community itself. It is way too early to define the role and skills.
