Blizzard Teases New Overwatch Character Again
Overwatch's roster may be getting bigger soon, as Blizzard has once again teased the existence of a new character on the horizon.
The latest tease from the company comes in the form of this tweet from the official Overwatch account:
[UPDATE] Genius grant recipient and Numbani local Efi Oladele posts curious image on her holovid channel, declaring: "Time to get to work!" pic.twitter.com/lQSzzD5ZT5

If you were following our coverage of the teases last week, you know that our current guess revolves around Efi Oladele constructing a defensive robot of some sort, and this tease seems to support that theory. But we won't know for certain until an official unveiling.
Our Take
I don't play Overwatch myself, but I know that the community is super-invested in its evolution. Fans seem to be eating up these clues, but Blizzard can't keep stringing them along forever. Soon, the company needs to stop teasing and just make the announcement.
