Blizzard has seemingly unveiled Hammond, its latest Overwatch hero. Hammond is a hamster in a mech suit.
A teaser video posted to Overwatch’s official Twitter account shows Hammond rolling in wearing a hulking metal suit, like one of the droidekas from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Turrets fire, and the camera zooms in as the top pops open to reveal… the cute hamster within.
Fans have reacted in surprise to the reveal – and delight that Hammond’s identity as a hamster was correctly called by Overwatch reddit user stmaurer just 24 hours ago.
