Aside from a few events , Blizzard has been relatively silent about Overwatch as development ramps up on its sequel. But it now appears as though the developer has started its Overwatch 2 new hero tease campaign by dumping a fair bit of lore out onto the internet concerning a character named Asa . And this isn’t random either since BlizzCon 2021 is quite close, meaning that Blizzard is likely starting to lay the groundwork for its online event next month.
[CORRESPONDENCE] As winter leads to spring, let me write a letter of lightness. Perhaps it will grant us both a little peace, even as I turn my blade to keeping the peace here from shattering altogether. – Asa
— Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) January 11, 2021
The official Overwatch Twitter account tweeted out a link from a letter written by a character named Asa to someone named Toshiro Yamagami. It’s a mysterious and poetic note that appears to say that Toshiro is a blacksmith of some sort and that his family misses him. It also appears to give context to the upcoming free-for-all deathmatch map in Japan called Kanezaka (which she reference by name) that sits below the castle in Hanamura, which Overwatch players might recognize from one of the launch set of maps.
Blizzard is trying to tie all of this lore to the new map coming to the game as Asa speaks plainly about the castle that is “overlooking [her] city.” Lead Designer Jeff Kaplan talked about this map in the most recent Developer Update where he said that the team littered Easter eggs throughout it, saying it has contextual storytelling and “payoff that going to come in Overwatch 2 .” He then went on to say that players will learn more about Hanzo and Genji as well as other people that “relate to that group.” Asa and Toshiro sound like they might in that “other people” crowd.
Asa sounds like she is some of sword-wielding character, as evidenced by her saying that she “soul longed for the sword” and that she “excelled at kenjutsu,” which is the general name for Japanese swordsmanship. She also says that Toshiro and her were “two who make and wield the sword,” further giving even more credence to both his and her implied backgrounds. Some have even guessed that she was Genji and Hanzo’s swordmaster and others have speculated that Asa’s daughter will actually be the playable hero since the letter opens with Toshiro giving the daughter a gift, which could have been a blade.
It is likely that Blizzard will divulge more at BlizzConline 2021 next month. The digital-only event is scheduled for February 19 and February 20.

Overwatch 2 is set to bring some new heroes to the game at launch, with many of the potential additions already being rumored, teased, or leaked.
Overwatch 2 is set to shake up the hero shooter’s universe in a big way, bringing numerous maps and modes to the game alongside a full co-op campaign. However, many fans are perhaps most excited about potential hero additions that may come alongside the game’s release, with the Overwatch community breaking down even the smallest teasers and rumors about new heroes. With only Sojourn confirmed for Overwatch 2 , there are plenty of playable characters that could appear in the unconventional sequel.
Though Blizzard has remained tight-lipped about Overwatch 2 details since the follow-up was revealed last year, the game will be shown to fans again at BlizzConline in February. During the showcase, fans are expecting to see at least one of the new heroes that have been rumored and teased over the last several months, and there are plenty of candidates for an Overwatch 2 hero reveal.
Perhaps the most likely hero to launch with Overwatch 2 is the heavily teased fox hero. Originally leaked via an Overwatch 2 press conference, a character silhouette showed a female hero with a fox pet. Since this initial leak, rumors have been shared regarding the characters ties to the Shimada clan, indicating that she may share the powers wielded by Hanzo and Genji — only in the form of a fox and not a dragon. Blizzard officially teased the Fox hero in the new Kanezaka Free-For-All map, with a piece of graffiti depicting foxes and the Japanese word “yokai.” A possible name for the character, fans can expect this hero to join the Overwatch universe soon due to the mountain of evidence hinting at her arrival.
With Overwatch 2 supposedly having four unannounced hero slots to fill, fans would surely be happy to see the Junkertown Queen make an appearance. Seen on a poster in the Junkertown map and referenced by Junkrat via in-game dialogue, players quickly grew attached to the character’s mace-like weapon and unique position of royalty. However, these teasers came two years ago, with any rumors regarding the character’s debut dying off in the last several months and the character's throne remaining the closest players have come to an encounter with the Queen. It remains to be seen if Blizzard ever explores the character, but with so many slots to fill, her appearance could come in Overwatch 2 .
One character rumored to appear in Overwatch 2 is actually an old, unused hero. Originally shown off in a pitch meeting for the first Overwatch game, Brit is a mech pilot like D.Va. Using a similar pistol to D.Va but having two different mech variants, one for attack and support, it is possible that Brit returns as one of the game’s most unique support heroes. Giving D.Va’s out-of-mech mechanics to a healer could prove interesting, and based on a recent Brit teaser in the Kanezaka map, she could be joining the game’s massive roster of memorable characters when the sequel arrives.
Originally teased in the Baptiste short story “What You Leave Behind,” Mauga’s close bond with Baptiste (and the favor Baptiste owes him) is ripe for more exploration in-game. With Mauga not joining his turncoat friend in leaving the Talon organization, the Samoan remains loyal to the terrorist group. Finally providing Talon with a tank hero, Mauga’s inclusion in Overwatch 2 could allow for a full Talon lineup that can clash with the stacked Overwatch faction — making for a perfect 6v6 mode and story event that furthers the overall narrative.
While the four heroes above are some of the standout choices for new heroes, the Overwatch universe features several interesting characters that could become playable in Overwatch 2 . The much-requested Jetpack Cat could finally arrive, while hacker Lynx Seventeen from the Zarya comic could also make an in-game debut. With an unknown monk-like hero previously leaking as well as testing being done for a spy-like, drone-wielding Overwatch hero, the door is wide open when it comes to future character additions.
Overwatch 2 is in development for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
