Overwatch 2 Map Easter Egg Teases New Story Featuring Fan-Favorite Hero

A recent update to the Busan MEKA Base map in Overwatch 2 has sparked speculation that another member of D.Va’s team might become a playable hero. Although Blizzard hasn’t confirmed anything, the change strongly hints at a future story arc focusing on the MEKA Squad in Overwatch 2.

D.Va is a hugely popular tank in Overwatch 2, second only to Reinhardt in terms of how often players choose her. While newer heroes like Kiriko and Wuyang are gaining popularity, D.Va has been a flagship character for the game ever since its launch in 2016, thanks to her fun personality, distinct way of playing, and interesting backstory.

New Overwatch 2 MEKA Squad Map Easter Egg

Okay, so I was checking out the Busan map in Overwatch 2, and it looks like something big might be happening with D.Va and her team! A content creator named Hazelet noticed some new text on one of the screens in the MEKA base. Apparently, South Korea has built this huge EMP weapon designed to finally take down the Gwishin. But here’s the catch: D.Va and the rest of MEKA need to actually get it into the heart of the Omnic swarm to make it work. It’s super exciting, and I’m really hoping this leads to some new story content!

Though D.Va is the most well-known member of MEKA Squad in Overwatch 2, the team actually consists of five pilots. The other four, who each pilot unique mechs and fight in different ways, have become popular with fans. While they’ve only appeared in concept art, during D.Va’s cinematic, and in the New Blood comic, these pilots are dedicated to defending South Korea from the ongoing threat of the Gwishin Omnics, even decades after the original Omnic Crisis.

Pilot Name Callsign Mech Fighting Style
Yuna Lee D.Mon Beast Energy Sword and Shield
Jae-Eun Kwon Casino La Princesse Sereine Speed
Kyung-soo Han King Singijung Missiles, Heavy Weapons
Seung-Hwa Shi Overlord Mastermind Drones

This small detail might just be background scenery, but it could also be a clue about exciting things coming to Overwatch 2. It might suggest a new comic, short story, or other content that explores what happened with D.Va and her team after the battle with Null Sector. Or, Overwatch 2 could finally be adding another member of MEKA Squad as a playable character. Blizzard hasn’t officially announced anything, but this shows they haven’t forgotten about these beloved characters.

Soon, Overwatch 2 will be adding a new hero named Vendetta. As the daughter of a former Talon leader, Antonio Giordani, she’s expected to significantly impact the game’s storyline. Blizzard appears to be emphasizing the lore of Overwatch 2 again, so fans are also curious to see how the MEKA Squad will fit into the unfolding narrative.
