Overwatch 2 will have water combat and a water based hero according to Kephrii

This news seems to be making a splash.

Overwatch 2 and their parent company have been plagued with development issues for quite a while. In late November 2021, Activision Blizzard announced that the release of the popular FPS game Overwatch 2, the sequel to the 2016 hit Overwatch, was to be delayed indefinitely. This delay caused not only huge disappointment among fans who had been starved for content pending the release of Overwatch 2, but a considerable backlash from investors.

Since then, little to no news has surfaced regarding the release date of Overwatch 2 or any new heroes slated to be revealed. Now, popular streamer, pro-player, and long time DPS main Brian St. Pierre, better known as Kephrii, has dropped a nugget of hope for fans of the game.

In a Tweet, Kephrii has informed his followers that there may be a possible water aspect in Overwatch 2. Though no official notes have been provided from the developers themselves, and there’s been no hint related to water-based maps from what we’ve seen in previews in the past, it could very well be a possibility.

Water-based maps have been hinted at before, with concept art for a map titled Galapagos based on a 2 Capture Point format that was created and left unused during early access. The hero Wrecking Ball was also shown in an aquatic setting, dropping further hints that underwater or water-based might not be a pipe-dream.

Kephrii also suggested in his tweet that there may be a hero whose abilities are based around the water more so than dry land and referred to the combat system as “fluid”.
