There have been lots of speculations in the "Overwatch" community this week as teasers for the 24th playable character have been surprisingly frequent. 

"Overwatch" is a team-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It was released in May 2016 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. "Overwatch" puts players in two teams of six, with each player selecting one of several pre-defined hero characters with unique movement, attributes, and abilities. These heroes are divided into four classes: Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support.

According to GameRant, Doomfist was initially a shoo-in, but Blizzard has thrown the community a few curveballs that have changed the direction of the investigation. Recent teasers point to two potential candidates, which could indicate Blizzard's intention to release both characters simultaneously.

The title of Doomfist is bestowed upon anyone who wields the Doomfist gauntlet, a role filled by only two people in the game's history thus far. Doomfist has been the topic of much discussion, especially regarding the character's inclusion in the game. Actor Terry Crews has been a fan favorite to voice the character, and he even recorded his own mock audition. Doomfist was accepted as the next "Overwatch" character, despite no official confirmation from Blizzard.

As for "Overwatch" players, it can be easily assumed that judging from the popularity of these reveals, introducing two heroes at once would be embraced by the community. Variety is the spice of life, after all, and having 25 available characters would give "Overwatch" another shot in the arm.
