I am curious who Hammond is. Another Gorilla that isnt a tank would be interesting.

Likely not a gorilla since they mentioned another smaller animal.

It's obviously going to be a 2CP map it's the only type to not get a new map yet. Or at least 2cp/payload

Unless Doomfist and Hammond are the exact same character, there's very little chance that we'll see Doomfist before Blizzcon

This is my theory and I'm sticking to it. A smaller gorilla with that gauntlet would be amazing.

I'm up for an evil gorilla.

What if Doomfist is a gorilla.

Psychoward · May 30, 2017

About fucking time for a new map, 2 over a year for a game this big is pathetic.

Let's hope it's up on the ptr by next Tuesday and it's not sombra'd.

Also could go for an evil ape hero

With Doomfist rumored to be black Blizzard wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole.

LycanXIII · May 30, 2017

I could see Hammond as a Chimp instead of a Gorilla, since he's a smaller animal. And give him a Koba skin.

Psychoward · May 30, 2017

Also I hope Winston gets themed map legendaries added to the regular pool like Rein's eichenwalde armor.

Probably not gonna happen though cause no one got anything for Oasis and Blizzard has pretty much given up on adding skins that aren't event items.

He already has the Horizon skin, though, so probably not.

Timed, 3k coins, didn't launch with oasis, no lore background to it like Rein's. Not similar.

Dongs Macabre said:

I mean Rein already had plenty of armor lol, they could think of something. But yeah.

What I'm hoping for: a new payload map on the moon base that goes to ptr within the month and includes at least 1 Winston legendary skin added to the regular pool along with an evil ape hero.

What I'm expecting: none of that

Thanks to the mod who fixed the title! Appreciate it! I was concerned that people would confuse the two Horizons.

More like Warframe themed

She even has the logo.

Blues1990 · May 30, 2017

A female gorilla that has tolterian tendencies and is very Ceaser-like would be a fun contrast to play towards the optimisict, dorky Winston. In either case, I hope the Lunar Map will offer some cosmetic content that isn't timelocked, as the game desperately needs it.

What do we know about Hammond?

Hammond is not a Gorilla, otherwise he'd be locked up w/ the others. Hammond is another, smaller type of animal. One that people aren't very concerned about having walk around the facility.

In fact, Hammond is small enough to get through ventilation shafts and ducts.

This might be a longshot, but.... could we dream? https://www.gamespot.com/articles/overwatch-director-talks-abandoned-cat-hero-patchi/1100-6449176/

Have you ever thought about making a cat hero? Surely the Internet would love that.

The answer is yes. This is an exclusive, no one has ever heard this before, but when we were first starting to make Overwatch we had to test the boundaries. It was a new IP and we didn't know how far or wide we could go, so Winston was kind of this cornerstone in a lot of ways. It was like, "Hey there's a gorilla and he talks, is that okay? Yeah, that's okay." Then on the other end of the spectrum you've got guys like Soldier 76 who is a soldier guy and they were good bookends. But we had explored much further out from that.

We had done a lot of concepting. We had one hero who was just a hockey player. Literally a hockey player. We later made a Lucio skin for a hockey player. But he was just a hockey player hero. Then there was this one hero that was a huge internal debate on the team because we just loved it so much but it didn't make it. It was this jetpack and it had this cat that laid in it, like a cat does. Then every once in awhile it would paw at the controls. It was a cat in a jetpack.

That was one of those moments that helped define Overwatch. We just went, "Yeah that's probably too far." But yes. We had a cat hero.

StayDead · May 30, 2017

Could Hammond be like Rocket? Lil guy with big guns.

J-Tier · May 30, 2017

I'm hoping for smaller ape or monkey, ideally a Spider Monkey would be cool.

That, or the jetpack cat.

I'd be so in if they made a Rocket Raccoon type hero.

Glad the pulled back on that. From their description, that sounds like some Battleborn tier hero.

Falchion · May 30, 2017

I'm all down for a new map but a new character too would be huge.

I want both!

Stop putting put new heroes and start pumping out new maps Blizz.

PS new 3v3 is great <3

Tusk · May 30, 2017

A moon map would be awesome, and a new animal character would be too. The game needs more non-humans.

The Omega Man · May 30, 2017

New Astronauts and space-themed skins 5k in game money each

maouvin · May 30, 2017

What's if this is just background for a new short though

Please be a non-arena map
