Overwatch Fans Share Which Rejected Prometheus Heroes They'd Add To The Game

Overwatch 2 has a pretty wide range of characters to choose from, as Heroes have been steadily added ever since the first Game's launch back in 2016. Just like with most video Game projects, some potential characters were left on the cutting room floor back when Overwatch was known as Prometheus during development.

For those that don't know, Blizzard employees were tasked with creating their own characters for Prometheus, some of which made it into the final Game. Characters like Winston and Reaper were largely unchanged, while characters that we know as Echo and Soldier 76 were originally called Iris and Troy. Then there are those that were eventually rejected which are the focus of today's story, as Overwatch players are discussing which they'd like to see revived and added to the Game.

If you visit the thread yourself, you'll quickly notice that the vast majority of those commenting would really like to see Mama Hong added to the base Game, just for how unique of a character she'd be. Seemingly inspired by the landlady from Kung Fu Hustle, she would've also had an ability called "Manslaughter." Quite what that would entail will have to be left to your imagination.

If you could make Blizzard add one beta/rejected hero from "Prometheus" into Overwatch 2, which one would it be and why? from Overwatch

Then you have several Overwatch fans picking concept characters like Recluse and Psyblade for very surface-level reasons of which you can probably guess if you find their portraits in the featured image. Although, one tries to justify themselves by explaining that a huge spider lady that can cling to walls would be pretty cool to play as.

McCloud is also another popular pick, who appears to be a chiseled Scottish warrior that wields a Claymore. Several want him in there for the representation, although u/youshouldbeelswyr would prefer a name change to something more realistically Scottish should Blizzard ever decide to revive him. It also helps that McCloud does look a lot like an Overwatch character from his design already, so making the leap would be pretty easy. We'll just have to wait and see whether the Overwatch community gets their wish.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when...

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg.
