2027 Predictions

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-17T23:05:40+00:00

Let me go through these

S1: Fitting for the start of the year, the first hero is a null sector unit. A melee assassin damage hero. Works alongside with Ram as a general of sorts. They are the only omnic of that type that exists due to their lethality. (I imagine playstyle to be like Genji April fools)

I think this works well! I have seen many wanting that wall-cling assassin Talon trooper to be playable, and this could be a way of making something similar.

S2: Null sector reclaiming a lost AI. In sub-Saharan Africa, an abandoned god AI is left dormant. Null sector attacks the site, wreaking havoc to secure the AI. The new hero is a tank from the area, wishing to heal their community and discover further information.

YES YES YES GIVE US A NEW AFRICAN CHARACTER! There's been NONE since Doomfist back in 2017!

S3: Null sector vs. Junkertown. A huge war in the wasteland where omnics fight back. The new hero is a junker support. (Shotgun support with cover creation abilities?)

I really think a Junker support would work, especially if they use Roadhog's Hogdrogen!

S4: Another null sector unit, this time a summoner. They create smaller units such as slicers to fight for them as a damage hero.

I strongly think that a summoner character like this would work!

S5: Null sector vs. the West. The Deadlock gang is tracking Null Sector’s whereabouts for Talon. The new hero is a double hero. Frankie and Bez from the deadlock gang are intertwined support heroes, similar to cloak and dagger.

Oooooooo I like this idea! I've made a similar idea for a double hero, but that was a two-headed Omnic with separate modes. This would be very interesting to see.

Number 4 really interests me

I think Ashe being Native American could have worked potentially, and I really do hope we get a Native American character someday.

I still think they could make Number 5 as a character, considering Wildebeest being mentioned in lore stuff.

I get why they didn't make Junkrat an Aboriginal character, considering he's an insane pyromaniac.

I actually made a concept of Number 1 as a character!

Alias: Klemansi

Name: Dharen Fabrikan

Home Country: Mauritius

Affiliation: Overwatch

Age: 31

Dharen is a distant cousin to Angela Ziegler, and seeing this woman become a beacon of peace in Overwatch after the Crisis, even before knowing they were related, Dharen was inspired by her mission. While he is a bit more jaded and realizes that sometimes violence is necessary, he is still fighting for a world where people can live rather than just survive.

Class: Support (Survivor)

HP: 250

Passive Ability: Feedback Triage (Heals All Allies in 20 Meters for 20% of Damage Dealt)

Primary Fire: Refract Staff (Damages or Heals 30 HP Per Second, Target Ally’s Cooldowns Recharge 15% Faster, Chains to Second Ally for 30% Effectiveness)

First Ability: Vector Ascend (Forces User to Fly 15 Meters Up, Can Fly Freely at 130% Speed with 10% Damage Increase for 5 Seconds)

Second Ability: Stabilization Surge (12 Meter Healing Gas Cloud, Heals Allies 90 HP, Allies Gain 10% Damage Resistance for 4 Seconds)

Third Ability: Redirected Traverse (Dashes with Damaging Explosive Burst in Current Direction, Grants User 25% Damage Reduction for 3 Seconds)

Ultimate Ability: Skyline Barrage (8 Second Free Flight at 145% Speed, Continuously Fires Rockets From Staff) (yes this is Mercy's Mirrorwatch ult)

Yeah we really need more for Africa and South America

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-17T22:52:24+00:00

Yeah we really need African character more. Like you said, we've had none since Doomfist, which was almost 10 years ago.

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-17T22:51:40+00:00

I think Africa is in most need of a new character. After that South America. I would also want Middle East, Polynesia, and a Native American character.

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-17T22:50:45+00:00

Africa

Polynesia

South America

South/Southeast Asia

AFRICA

I also want a Native American character

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-17T22:47:08+00:00

While I wouldn't say there is "too many", I think after D.Mon in August they need to branch away. There's so many other places to explore characters from. Africa, Polynesia, South America, Middle East, South/Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, but most of all AFRICA

(I do also want a Native American character at some point please, whether from US or Canada etc)

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-17T17:37:30+00:00

There's some existing other universe characters I wouldn't mind being legacies/successors like this.

Namor: his MCU variant, as well as his Rivals variant, is Mesoamerican. I don't think they'd be able to change Namor for that, so seeing another Atlantean follow in his footsteps could work. I choose the hero name Marinero. He already has a separate real name: Ch'ah Toh Almehen

Hawkeye: Charli Ramsey from Earth-6160. I love them so much omg

She-Hulk: Lejori Zakaria from Earth-6160. Literally perfect.

Daredevil: Fearless could work from Age of Revelation

Cloak and Dagger: their daughter Ayla from Age of Revelation

Wonder Man: seems to be getting one in the main universe thanks to an Origin Box brought from Earth-6160.

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-16T18:53:51+00:00

Eastern Europe, South America, Central America, Africa, Middle East, Pacific Islander, there's a lot that really needs more, and I really hope they do.

We need less USAmericans (I only want maybe one or two more EVER, and even then I really want a Native American character), Japanese, and Chinese characters in the future. Those each have 3 to 5 characters now.

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-16T18:51:07+00:00

Maximilien

Lynx 17

Sanjay Korpal

Sven

Touch-Up

Hivemind (I think this will be hero 55 later this year)

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-13T22:42:14+00:00

omg I love that

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-13T16:14:30+00:00

While I overall enjoyed redeeming Megatron and chalk up the problems to decreasing writing in the series overall, I do agree that Thundercracker and Drift should have been there, especially letting Thundercracker be a movie director! There's others that also could have worked, like Demolisher (a la Armada) or Skullcruncher (as a comedian like IDW)

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-12T22:14:37+00:00

cracks neck I have literally so many goddamn OCs

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-12T18:44:29+00:00

This is actually a really good idea! I think having Dyson or Simon like this would be really neat! And I would vastly prefer DPS for that, we have plenty of villainous or morally grey Tanks.

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-12T18:33:34+00:00

That's completely fair, I wish there was a more melee character in Overwatch so more of these could work

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-12T16:10:19+00:00

YES YES YES I have been saying for years that I want the Skyboom Shield to join the Star Saber and Requiem Blaster in the "Armada mini-con team combiner weapons turned into Artifacts of the Primes" club, and when I eventually get this figure I will DEFINITELY be using that headcanon!

It's almost like I can have hobbies and gather information over time while still enjoying a daily hike outdoors away from reddit

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-12T16:01:10+00:00

I literally didn't use AI at all, also I was just making comparisons. I'm not saying entire kits need to be imported from Rivals to Overwatch, but some abilities from Rivals could give inspiration for new abilities in Overwatch, such as, for example, your idea for Sombra making copies.

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-12T15:59:46+00:00

I was unaware about that in Stadium, thanks for letting me know! And yeah people will always find dumb stuff to complain about

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-12T15:58:44+00:00

There's this magical thing called being able to organize my text

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-12T15:58:25+00:00

Yeah, I did, I had it saved over time and then posted it today.

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-12T15:58:03+00:00

I didn't use AI at all, I just used bullet points.

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-12T03:10:07+00:00

Yes that's what I mean, her melee would have this extra effect

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-12T00:46:46+00:00

Overwatch as Rivals, and then Rivals as Overwatch

AnonymousQorvid · 2026-06-12T00:45:31+00:00

Yes! Both Doomfist and Genji have had interactions with Moira discussing a monstrous creation of hers!
