Is Efi Oladele Overwatch's Next Hero?
The backstory of an 11-year-old girl named Efi Oladele, who also happens to be a genius inventor, was posted as a fictional interview on the Official Blog of Overwatch. While the majority of the fans speculate this as a tease to a new hero by Blizzard Entertainment, there was no apparent confirmation of any sort. At least, not yet.
The interview reveals that she is a brilliant kid-genius from Numbani, who works with robotics and artificial intelligence. Her impressive achievements in the ground so far is the news from last year. She has received a very prestigious as well as a handsome "genius grant" from the Adawe Foundation for the recognition of her contribution. And her magnificent progress in her working field has took her to the "Spotlight on Numbani".
Despite all the royalties and fame, she wishes to do more by creating a means to make everyone's life better. Also, she hinted of building something like the OR15s and yet not declared that what she is going to do with her grant.
There might be a lot of possibilities for her but if we are to see this 11-year-old in action, it would be saddening to see her getting killed during the game by her opponents. May be she will be bringing her robots in the battlefield of Overwatch, or assist the fellow heroes from behind the scene. She might even send off battle-drones to disrupt the enemy teams as she has been building those from her early age.
If she is destined to play the part of a protagonist in the game then she might as well ended up creating a robot of her own, which she can remotely control in a fight and the players will not have to have a hard time seeing decimated in-game. If we recall correctly, the studio has recently nodded that there are a few protagonist characters in development. Therefore, there is a great chance that Efi Oladele might turn out to be one of them.
