Meanwhile, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star Terry Crews has express his interest in voicing Doomfist in "Overwatch" after a Reddit user suggest that he should provide the voice of the character.
Although it was merely a suggestion, it is not without possibility as "Overwatch" director Jeff Kaplan stated that he and Blizzard are working two heroes in the game which led to Sombra in the roster. Perhaps, the possible next character in the roster could be Doomfist, Gamerant reported.
Doomfist is hinted to join "Overwatch" and was featured in the first animated short of the game. According to former "Overwatch" story teller Chris Metzen, Doomfist is a generational character all using the same super-powered gauntlets for both heroics and villainy.
Three characters who have used Doomfist have been featured in "Overwatch", with two characters being named Savior and Scourge, while the other is called the Successor, in this case the next person to adopt the mantle of Doomfist and possibly a future DLC character soon.
Other characters are rumored to join "Overwatch's" roster areLiao and Athena.
Kaplan recently announced changes in Symmetra as the character will now have two ultimate attacks that gamers can choose when using her in battle. Her teleporter ultimate has more health in the update, and her second ultimate is called "Photon Barrier, which allows her to generate energy shields for the entire team.
While Symmetra is may be the first character to gain two ultimates in "Overwatch", Kaplan added that that the ability is “projected on a track of movement” and is designed to be more active than its previous iteration. It has also been compared to Winston and Reinhardt’s shield abilities.
Moreover, there are also changes to Symmetra’s turrets with six turrets able to be placed on a cooldown cycle instead of three and the beam from her primary fire has a slightly extended range. But despite this increased range, Kaplan ensures that “she’s not a long range beam sniper now”.
"Overwatch" is currently available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC platforms.
