The latest updates for "Overwatch" will feature more crosshair types and new DLC hero coming soon for the game.

Game director Jeff Kaplan that the next DLC hero coming to "Overwatch" could be coming soon as he told Express that that the team was "very far along with hero number 25." While Kaplan did point out that far along does not necessarily mean the hero is ready for deployment within the game.

There have been also reports that Doomfist will launch in the coming days ahead of the new Anniversary Event, which is likely to fall on May 24. Doomfist is said to the be an offensive, attack-minded character that can be used to counter Reinhardt and Roadhog.

There are also rumors of two more DLC heroes for "Overwatch" after Doomfist and there names are Bria and Ivon. Bria is allegedly the smallest member in "Overwatch's" roster, with a play style that allows her to lock off certain section of maps to assist her team, though not multiple areas at once.

This would allow Bria to be a strong player in control maps where the objective could be stalled until her team returns. Bria is rumored to launch in the third quarter of this year.

Ivon is a tall, lanky, elderly man wearing a close-fitted business suit with red accents. He hails from Russsia, and will be a part of the defense category. His defensive abilities will include being able to summon weak swarming bots and control them at will. His ultimate ability will double the amount of robots that the character controls, making him somewhere between Torbjorn and Symmetra in terms of usability.

In other news, Kaplan teased more crosshair types for "Overwatch" soon as he has been reponding to comments from the community regarding it.

The game director hinted that they will do something about it and they may add the crosshairs in the next "Overwatch" DLC patch, PvP Live reported.

The reason Kaplan wants the more crosshair types is that the space in the middle of the crosshair, and the size of it. The only crosshair that "Overwatch" has that is big and does not allow for a space in the middle to see exactly what the player's are aiming at. This is especially useful for characters like Soldier: 76 or Hanzo, so player's can square up headshots in the retitcle without having to do any guess work.

"Overwatch" is currently available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC platforms.
