The two heroes joining Doomfist are Bria and Ivon and they are hinted to be counter characters for Reinhardt and Roadhog in "Overwatch." Gaming fans have been waiting a long time for Doomfist to finally be released, this is the first time gamers heard of the other two characters, Gamerant reported.

Bria is a character that has just begun testing, aiming for a release in the third quarter of 2017. She 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.

As for Ivon, he is considered to be in the early concept stages of development which fits Blizzard’s previous statement that there would not be more than two hero releases per year. Ivan 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.

Ivon's 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, it seems that Blizzard Entertainment wll be celebrating "Overwatchs" Anniversary this month.

While the publisher has not yet revealed any sort of details for the game's Anniversary event, Reddit usenrame FailCraft was able to datamined some information referencing references to "EVENT 6" for all characters, as well as new cosmetic items.

The Reddit user's datamined info also revealed more maps in "Overwatch," though it is possible these could be new versions of existing maps instead of brand-new ones.

Finally, Blizzard made some balance tweeks for the present heroes in "Overwatch's" PTR. These heroes include Genji, Hanzo, Reinhardt, Reaper, Orisa and Soldier: 76.
