An area Havana newspaper shares the story of a household brewery misplaced to a megacorporation, earlier than warning of a hurricane hitting the island.
The blog post doesn’t say explicitly what kind this can take within the game, nevertheless it mentions each a rebuilt rum distillery and the Havana Sea Fort, which could imply a brand new map. It’s additionally about time for the archives occasion to roll round for an additional yr. Last time it introduced us some new lore in regards to the previous of the Overwatch organisation and the Talon firm, so this may need one thing to do with that. How the hurricane suits in is much less clear – I don’t suppose they’re about so as to add climate results to the game, however hey, I’d prefer to be improper.
There’s additionally the surface likelihood that the girl interviewed for the paper, Alicia Diaz, might grow to be the game’s first black girl hero, as gamers have been asking for for therefore lengthy. If so, although, she’s more likely to undergo extra introductory lore first.

Not a lot to go on, as is common for these sorts of Blizzard teases, however they’re more likely to unfurl extra within the coming days. Probably nonetheless not sufficient to fulfill those that want there was a higher deal with the story behind the capturing, however we’ll wait and see what the return of the archive occasions has to supply.
