According to a recent leak, Overwatch heroes may be about to get a bunch of new skins.
New images (via Imgur user raulrsd) show an Xbox One dashboard icon for Overwatch that contains Mercy, Tracer, Reinhardt, and Torbjorn wearing new blue gear.
A recent comic called Uprising showed many of the Overwatch team wearing a uniform very similar to the one shown in these leaked images, and they could be tied into an upcoming in-game event. Some fans are also convinced that Genji’s Blackwatch outfit will be included as a legendary skin in an upcoming update, though nothing has yet been confirmed about that or these supposed new skins.
Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan said recently that the multiplayer shooter could come to Nintendo Switch down the road, though it would be “difficult” if it did happen. He’s also stated the game could get a map editor one day.
“We are extremely open-minded about releasing a map editor for Overwatch someday,” he said. “But because Overwatch was made with a brand new engine, this is not a small task or one which can happen any time soon.”
