In the high-octane world of video games, change is the only constant. As Blizzard's latest reveal shows, there's no place where that rings truer than in Overwatch 2's upcoming season.
It begins with an echo of a warning. A silhouette figure called The Enigma, distorted voice crying alarm, alluding to the great threat ahead.
Just a week ago, streams from notable players such as Shroud, Kyedae, and Scump, faced an unexpected intrusion. This shadowy interloper hacked into Overwatch 2 live sessions with urgency. All fingers and the internet's more eagle-eyed users pointed towards one man as the identity behind The Enigma - legendary wrestler and actor, John Cena. And guess what? The internet was right.
It's been fun seeing the Overwatch community try to put a face to The Enigma," Cena quipped in a statement, always a character on and off screen. But is Cena really a part of Overwatch 2? While fans dream of "Cena as a hero" scenarios, it has since been clarified that Cena's role is purely promotional.
So, if you were hoping for The Enigma to pop into the game with a "You can't see me" taunt, that dream might have to remain in the realms of fan-fiction.
