  CORRECTION:<br>- The “A” in ARG actually stands for Alternate not Augmented<br><br>- Spelled Baptiste’s name wrong<br><br>- There was a small teaser for Jetpack Cat with one of the eSports spray which is the Fika spray which you got that from attending the 2024 OWCS Grand Finals in-person at Stockholm.<br><br>- Sierra was teased much earlier on the Powder Keg Mine Stadium map which there was a tablet that retracted her name

  Emre was first mentioned a decade ago, disappeared with zero nrews, and came back with completely different appearance and being possessed by a Finnish AI. Bro is so lore accurate that even the devs play with him.

  Mohawk Guy being Emre was a retcon... in one of the Reddit AMAs back in 2018/19 people asked if Emre Sarioglu was a planned hero, but the devs admitted it was a throwaway name they made up for the teaser. Fans latched on to Emre so hard they pivoted and retconned him into the story.

  Not gonna lie, but Sombra was actually so fun and big to follow through. The invisible and passive introduction just made it even better, considering her personality. The biggest introduction fr

  shion retroactively appears in a 2024 hanzo/kiriko short story called &quot;where honor lives&quot;. although not named, she has to be one of the five hashimoto elders that hanzo is brought before.<br><br>and i&apos;m a little early, but since we pretty much know the next hero is d.mon, she was in d.va&apos;s shooting star cinematic in 2018

  A good compilation video; in a way, it makes you feel old when you realize how much time has passed.

  Man, it just shows how much more work they used to put into foreshadowing and teasing heroes. Now they just get dropped out of nowhere with no teasing or buildup or mystery.

  Anran was the last heroes &quot;added&quot; to overwatch 2 before it was rebranded as Overwatch. Thought it&apos;s true she was technically released during season 1 , you could try her out during the last season of OW2 which is an interesting fact

  I&apos;m surprised how great you&apos;ve done with research you didn&apos;t miss almost anything. You only missed few mentions of Sierra and Shion. On Powder Keg Mine there was/is a tablet where we can read that Watchpoint: Grand Mesa has new helix security guard which is Sierra. In Mizuki short story from s1 he reffers to someone she only calls &quot;her&quot; who will be mad at him if he disobeys the Hashimotos which is Shion.
