There’s Still Hope For One Of Overwatch’s Most Requested Heroes

Details reported by Kotaku suggest one of the five new heroes coming to Overwatch next week is Jetpack Cat, a feline who rides a jetpack healing allies and harassing foes, and that the hero revives a decade-old concept from the game’s early development. Another scrapped concept from those early days is Mama Hong, which dates back to when Overwatch was planned as the MMO Titan.

An image depicts an older Asian woman with her hair up in curlers, a cigarette in her mouth, dressed in a robe; her appearance has been likened to the landlady character in Kung Fu Hustle and criticized as relying on stereotype, yet fans have produced full concepts and continued to request her return.
