  • Fans discovered datapads with bounty info on targets like Damian Barboza and Machete Betty in the game.
  • Overwatch 2’s narrative continues with in-game teasers like these, hinting at Freja’s history and character.

In the latest update for Overwatch 2, there have been some intriguing in-game references to Freja, such as bounty marks and hunting gear scattered across the maps of Suravasa, Junkertown, and Esperanca. These hints correlate with Freja’s hero trailer for Overwatch 2, which is currently visible within the game before her trial phase starting on March 21st, and official release in Season 16 on April 22nd.

At the latest Spotlight gathering, it was disclosed that Overwatch 2 will introduce a new damage hero named Freja in Season 16. Previously a member of Overwatch’s search and rescue team, Freja has since become an autonomous bounty hunter, pursuing difficult targets to satisfy the excitement of the chase.

Currently, the game “Overwatch 2” has hidden some entertaining Easter eggs to hint at the imminent release of a new hero. Prior to the mid-Season 15 update for “Overwatch 2”, players uncovered datapads scattered across various maps, which provided details on bounty targets, along with a selection of bolas, crossbow bolts, and other hunting gear. Content creators Hazelet, Faalund, and Shroomiiee located these Easter eggs on the maps Esperanca, Junkertown, and Suravasa respectively.

People who saw the latest Freja hero trailer for Overwatch 2 might recall the names on these datapads. Damian Barboza, a swindler in Esperanca, Machete Betty, a fighter in Junkertown’s pit, and Sahil “The Wolf” Bhediya, a mercenary in Suravasa, were the three bounty targets that Freja handed over to Maximilien in the animated short. Given the abilities of these particular targets, as well as their substantial rewards, it’s evident that Freja is serious about her job.

It appears that these Easter eggs are contributing to a larger storyline that Overwatch 2 is currently developing within the game. Despite facing challenges and criticism during its transition into PvE and story missions, Overwatch 2 has made it clear that they still intend to share stories set in Future Earth. Although we’re unsure if additional story missions are on the horizon, Blizzard has managed to move the narrative along through comics, short stories, cinematics, and in-game hints such as these.

Gamers can anticipate encountering Freja in the game itself before too long. While she won’t officially debut until Season 16 kicks off on April 22, enthusiasts can get a sneak peek of Freja during the three-day trial period in Overwatch 2 beginning March 21. During this preliminary testing phase, players should pay close attention to their in-game interactions, as Freja’s voice lines and character interactions might offer intriguing insights into her background and personality.
