Update: There's a Storm Brewing in Overwatch Archives: Storm Rising Named Maximilien
Update: We have a closer look at Maximilien.
Blizzard released another teaser giving us a closer look at Maximilien. The Overwatch strike team is surveilling the streets of Havana looking for Doomfist’s accountant, Maximilien. Then, the camera spies him in a car. And, at the end of the transmission, Maximilien is seen stepping out of the car looking like lead in a futuristic Goodfellas reboot.
Usually, when Blizzard highlights a character in this way, they become playable characters. Could Maximilien be the next playable hero? While we, here at Ge’NeL are excited for the possibility of playing this mysterious, yet obviously badass, villainous character, it’s yet another missed opportunity for an unambiguous Black femme Overwatch hero.
Personally, I would like to see a Pam Grier/Copperhead a la Kill Bill, bad ass Genji type of hero. But we shall see.
