Overwatch's 27th Hero

An interesting tweet from Overwatch account displayed the following

 

In the middle of that you'll see a new name not mentioned before - 'Emre Sarioglu'. Is this linked to Reinhardt's origin story by any chance or just shortly after?

Emre....weren’t he the Turkish guy who played for Newcastle in the 00’s 😂

This is an excert from the OW Blog. Tldr, Reinhardt saved Tjorborn. Tjorborn offers Reinhardt to give her unborn daughters name.

 

Brigitte is now very likely to be the 27th Hero.

 

 

After the battle, Torbjörn penned a letter to his worried wife, Ingrid, reassuring her that all was well and letting her know that he would be home soon.

Here’s the English translation:

My dear Ingrid,

I know that by now you have gotten news of my injuries in our latest mission. While the descriptions may sound terrible, the doctors are quite sure I'll make a full recovery. Even Angela came to visit me! On the matter of my arm, I promise to make it my first priority to construct a suitable prosthesis that will make everyone forget that it was ever gone. If only Angela's dreams of tissue regeneration were a reality! I told her she should be working harder!

They tell me that you have not yet gone into labor, so I am holding out hope that I will be able to be by your side back home in Gothenburg when the time comes. Just wait a little longer for me!

You may have heard that Reinhardt is responsible for saving my life. I've heard the story at least four different times myself, already, each time more unbelievable than the last. Exaggerations, as you know how he can be. All the same, they've decided to award him a commendation for "conspicuous bravery." Could two words better describe the big oaf?

He has been bothering me insufferably at my bedside. Half in jest, I suggested that if it would shut him up, I would allow him to name our daughter, as he has been badgering me about it these past months. He, of course, took me at my word. Truth be told, I had been considering making him her godfather, and I hope you'll forgive me for making this decision without your consultation. We can only hope she doesn't take after him too much.

I told him that you would have to agree to any name he chose, so let’s hope it's a good one (though I fear that may be beyond his abilities, given some of the ridiculous names he gives the characters in his "true stories"). I'm getting sick of this hospital, so I am hoping to return soon.

Love,
Torbjörn

It's Brigitte, Torb's daughter. Someone posted a tweet too soon at Blizzard China and redacted it.

Yeah, I seen a random Virgin Media tweet saying everyone thinks its her with an image and asking what type of character will she be. I'll see if I can link it.

I’m interested to see what class she will be, can only imagine that she’d be defence.
