"Overwatch" Season 4 will replace "Overwatch" Season 3 and players can't wait to know who the 24th hero is. "Overwatch" Season 3 fans would have to accept that the season is about to end, drawing mixed reactions ranging from wistful to excited for the next iteration. According to reports, rumors that "Overwatch" Season 3 will soon end started when game director Jeff Kaplan talked about specific characters and skipping features on schedule. Players are said to be warned of the "Overwatch" Season 3 ending but given something to be excited about amid plans for "Overwatch" Season 4 circulating online.

Blizzard Entertainment has scheduled the end date on Feb. 21 at 4:00 PM PST. Meanwhile, "Overwatch" Season 4 is already confirmed to be launched on Feb. 28 at 4:00 PM PST. The game developer still has to provide more information about "Overwatch" Season 4 and with only a week before the release date, fans may just have to look for details themselves online. Jeff Kaplan said "Overwatch" 4 is being developed based on player feedback. "Throughout Season 3, we've been listening to the community and modifying our plans based on your feedback," he added.

According to reports, new heroes are being developed for "Overwatch" Season 4 but the 24th "Overwatch" hero is reportedly not someone expected by players. It is still unclear but Kaplan could be referring to Doomfist who is a popular hero that comes to mind when fans discuss who the "Overwatch" 24th hero could be.
