A newOverwatch 2leak revealed new abilities for Brigitte and Moira. Blizzard has confirmed several new features for the game, such asOverwatch 2’s player versus environment story missionsand new looks for the game’s characters.
On Twitter, a user named Voporeon posted a series of images they claimed are fromOverwatch 2,stating the images are from a Facebook group that they are part of. In the first set of images, the player is able to choose from six talents for Brigitte. One of these is Godfather’s Legacy which gives Brigitte Reinhardt’s shield, and another gives her a friend called Mitzi, a cat with a backpack. Blizzard has shared designs of ajetpack cat herothat hasn’t been added to the game, though it’s unclear why the company would choose to simply make it an ally rather than its own hero.

Another image shows the player choosing a talent forOverwatchcharacter Moira. She can create healing smoke, put an enemy in an orb of poison, and revive enemies.Overwatch’sMercy can already revive characters, and while her revive ability has changed several times since the game was released, it seems strange that Blizzard would give that ability to another character, though it may have something to do with the recent hero pool change.
The revive ability isn’t the only reason why fans think thisOverwatch 2leak looks off. On Moira’s talent list, there are several spelling issues, such as “Multi Obrs” and “Toxic Prision”. These images are from an internal test, says the leaker, but it does seem strange that none of the developers have fixed this.
It’s also strange that Brigitte and Moira haven’t changed appearance inOverwatch 2compared to the first game. Blizzard has confirmed thatcharacters will get new designs inOverwatch 2, some of which have already been teased. These leaked images could be from a very early internal test, and the new character looks simply aren’t ready yet, but it seems unlikely.
It’s unclear when Blizzard is going to make another announcement aboutOverwatch 2. Fans are anxiously awaiting a release date for the game, and confirming more information aboutOverwatch 2could also help to stop fake leaks. The company recently posted ateaser for a newOverwatchcharacter, but while that’s exciting for some, it’s not what fans were asking for.
