With rumors swirling about the new Overwatch hero, many fans have their theories about which character will join the roster as the 27th playable persona. Well, we can forget all about those rumors, as it looks like Brigitte Lindholm will indeed be the new hero.
The Overwatch Japanese Twitter account accidentally tweeted the file location path instead of an actual image. This let fans see the name of the image file, which was “Brigitte Tease.”
Reddit user Fogmoon managed to snap a screenshot of the accidental tweet, shortly before it was removed:
This certainly looks like a mistake, although it could very well be a genius marketing move.
The tweet was rapidly deleted, and with a rectified post with image taking its place:
