Blizzard Entertainment seems to be on the path to reveal a new hero for "Overwatch" by posting a supposed interview with an 11-year old native of Numbani, and artificial intelligence and robotics prodigy, Efi Oladele.

Although the "interview" used the same byline, Atlas News, in the "Overwatch" site, before Sombra and Soldier: 76 were introduced, the news of an 11-year old Efi Oladele to be the next hero is highly unlikely.

According to PlayOverwatch, Efi said she wanted to build something that will keep her and her family safe. She specifically mentioned "OR15s." Another speculation is that Efi might build fighting robots and stage a fight from a safe distance.

Prior to the reveal of Sombra late last year, "Overwatch" game director Jeff Kaplan said the development team had at least one hero in the prototype stage. He also admitted "Overwatch" that multiple heroes are in the works, and then added that not all will see the light of day.

Based on the scenarios above, it is safe to assume that the new hero is not actually Efi but a robotic creation of hers. Efi says she will build the OR15s to help protect her family. In "Overwatch's" game forum, Kaplan noted that "Overwatch's" 24th hero is not who you think it is. However, something is coming, not leaning on whom, but what.

Polygon reported that though Efi might not be Overwatch's 24th hero, she maybe the creator of them. Basing on Kaplan's statement, of having multiple new heroes interspersed with Efi's "statement" as hoping to build OR15s. According to Reddit users, they speculate that Efi will create robotic four legged tanks that players get to control, the same that has appeared in concept art and appearances in a few videos.

"Overwatch" writer Michael Chu must have slipped when he said there would be no adult Efi since the timeline will happen in present day "Overwatch." He said instead of Efi, it would be an unannounced robot named, Anchora, which in a spider shaped tank. This is also not far-fetched since the spider-like tank appeared twice before.

Whoever the new hero is in "Overwatch" is still speculation until further details and official revelations are made.
