With Moira only having been out for a month, the speculation is on. 

Who is Hero 27? 

During an interview with Jeff Kaplan conducted by PC gamer. Kaplan said, when asked about the next hero. 

“A surprise that has perhaps been hinted at.”

"A surprise... hinted at...". Speculation leading up to Moira has been that it was either going to be the Junker Town Queen, who was hinted at during the Junkrat\Roadhog cinematic, or Maximilian, who was in the comics, or Athena, who has been every where (she is the voice of the "narrator" during the game). When Moira was announced, a lot of people were thrown off. But Moira herself was actually hinted at in the comics. During the Doomfist comic, there was a scene where you saw 3 members of Talon sitting around a table. 

The person on the left is in fact, Moira. As confirmed by Kaplan himself. It through a lot of people off, because, as Kaplan said during Blizzcon, "they all assumed it was a man". She was a surprise, who was also hinted at, but never established. We knew nothing about her at all, until her cinematic.  

So, we now know that the Overwatch team will pull people from the comics. But we keep coming back to "A surprise". There have been a lot of people in the comics. The problem is, they're all established in the lore. Maximilian, the Junker Town Queen, Athena, and even Torbjorn's daughter Brigitte, who started in the comic and was also in the Reinhardt cinematic. Along with a whole butt load of others who are in the comic. 

They are all established characters, with in the Overwatch lore. None of them would be a surprise.  

This brings me to our hint. 

During the Moira cinematic, there is a scene that shows (left to right) Sanjay Korpal, Doomfist, Maximilian, Reaper, and Moira sitting at a table. 

Great scene showing Talon characters, but I want you to focus on the screen in the background. 

Lets zoom in on the figure on the screen. 
I believe that this is Hero 27. Maybe a Talon tank? Maybe a defense character? We have zero idea since we have zero information on them. I think this was the hint and surprise that Jeff was talking about. 

What do you guys think? Do we have our hero 27, or is this the community with their tin foil hats? Let us know in the comments below. 
And as always, this is James with Game Fix. Game on everybody!
