Illari, Overwatch 2’s supposed new assist hero, might need leaked early

A picture of what might be the subsequent new Overwatch 2 hero has seemingly leaked on-line, virtually two weeks away from when the subsequent season is meant to launch—and the gamers wanting on the hero appear satisfied it’s a brand new healer.

A submit from an Overwatch 2 participant by the identify of Stevo exhibits two photos of what seems to be a brand new hero named Illari, displaying off two of apparently three legendary skins: Dawn, Sunset, and Llamas Pajamas. Subsequent to Illari’s identify is a small however noticeable assist icon.

Along with the pictures themselves, the participant who posted them requested together with the submit, “Can’t be a therapeutic turret character can it?” The identical participant posted simply two days in the past that they “won’t be playing the next hero just because she has healing turrets.”

One other Overwatch content material creator who supposedly received entry to the hero determined to only leak the complete construct after Stevo posted the supposed screenshots. Streamer akash claims Illari has a destructible therapeutic turret, in addition to a cooldown-based means just like Baptiste’s bounce that knocks enemies again, plus a histcan-like beam that offers injury or heals relying on who it’s focusing on. Her final supposedly is just like that of Raze’s from VALORANT; a single rocket that offers injury and applies a debuff to anybody hit.

As anticipated, the group goes wild with hypothesis. A few customers on the aggressive Overwatch subreddit are satisfied that Illari is of Peruvian descent because the hero’s identify and a number of other of her uncommon pores and skin names are from the Quechua language.

If this does change into the brand new hero, then there’s an opportunity Blizzard will likely be compelled to leap the gun on its reveal, that means we might see a extra detailed have a look at Illari earlier than later.
