In 2017, Overwatch added the Junkertown map to the game, which was received relatively well by fans. It gave fans further insight into the characters Junkrat and Roadhog, who used to reside in Junkertown under the rule of the Junker Queen. Junkrat and Roadhog were eventually kicked out of Junkertown after getting on The Queen’s bad side, and she hasn’t been featured much in the game’s lore since. However, there is some evidence to suggest that Overwatch 2 may finally be adding the Junker Queen as a playable hero.
Rumors of Junker Queen becoming a playable hero have persisted for years. Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan himself has teased the possibility, suggesting that Junker Queen wouldn’t be a Support hero if she was added to the game, leaving Damage and Tank options on the table. And more recently, the Overwatch 2 Behind the Scenes video from BlizzCon 2021 may have clues pointing to Junker Queen’s addition to the game.
Fans have noticed a t-posing character in the Overwatch 2 Behind the Scenes video that they believe to be the Junker Queen. The character seems to be wearing gauntlets that look like they would match Junker Queen’s outfits from official art, and fans believe they can see her axe in the image as well. It’s possible that fans are mistaken, but it is certainly convincing and it would make sense considering how long Junker Queen has been teased for the Overwatch roster.
Junker Queen may or may not be coming in Overwatch 2, but as it stands, Blizzard only has one new hero officially confirmed for the hero shooter. First revealed at BlizzCon 2021, Sojourn is a new hero making her debut in Overwatch 2 whenever the game launches. It’s possible Sojourn will be the only new hero coming with the actual launch of Overwatch 2 and other heroes may have to wait until after launch to get their time in the spotlight, but that has yet to be clarified by Blizzard.
With no new Overwatch 2 heroes announced at this year’s BlizzCon event, fans have been tearing the Behind the Scenes videos apart for clues. Besides this potential Junker Queen hint, some fans think they found evidence for Overwatch 2 hero Soundquake. However, that theory was debunked when it was clarified that the image was really for PvE characters that have already been featured in the game.
It’s clear that fans are desperate for some new Overwatch 2 hero news, so it’s a good thing that updates on the game will be more frequent moving forward.
Overwatch 2 is in development for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
