Jinkx Monsoon, the winner of season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, has thrown her hat into the ring to voice Overwatch’s Queen of Junkertown.
Here’s how Blizzard combined Left 4 Dead and Overwatch lore to create their best event yet.
The Queen of Junkertown first caught our consideration again in September – when Overwatch’s Junkertown map was launched. Though we by no means truly see her majesty in particular person, we hear her voice as we make our manner by means of the escort map – and the partitions are lined with posters of the enigmatic chief of scrappers.
This has led followers to speculating that the Queen of Junkertown could possibly be Overwatch’s subsequent hero – or at the least a future hero.
But who would voice such a fiesty queen? Well, how about our favorite narcoleptic drag queen – Jinkx Monsoon. She’s definitely (by way of DBLTAP).
Hey hey, @Blizzard_Ent and all you peeps at @PlayOverwatch – my buddy @localcrone drew me because the JunkerCity Queen. If you’re searching for a VO actor to voice your (apparent) future character- gimme a name. 😉 pic.twitter.com/QGNCAPD3oO

Unfortunately, as followers had been fast to level out, the Queen of Junkertown already has a voice actor. But there’s no denying Jinkx would carry some additional flare to Blizzard – she simply must work on her Australian accent.
