Overwatch developer Blizzard is close to releasing a new character on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan recently told Express Online that the team was "very far along with hero number 25".

While Kaplan did point out that far along doesn't necessarily mean the hero is ready, he made the comments during an interview with Express Online in Apri.

There have been multiple reports that Doomfist will launch in the coming days ahead of the new Anniversary Event, which is likely to fall on May 24.

Rumours suggest he will be an offensive, attack-minded character that can be used to counter Reinhardt and Roadhog.

Other reports suggest that Doomfist will be followed by two additional characters named Bria and Ivon.
