On Friday, March 6th, Blizzard will host a massive panel at PAX East where they'll give attending fans a preview of their latest games — Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and Overwatch.
While we're all pretty familiar with Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm at this point, Overwatch still largely remains a mystery at this point. First revealed at Blizzcon 2014 four months ago, we know Overwatch is a team-based multiplayer shooter "with an emphasis on accessibility and pure fun." Part of that fun is the ability to play as one of many different heroes, each with their own distinct weapons and superabilities.
Currently, there are twelve playable heroes announced for Overwatch so far, but that number could be increasing soon if a recent tease by Blizzard is any indication.
During the week, Blizzard's official Overwatch Twitter account teased a possible new hero through an image of a fitness magazine cover mock. The magazine features a male-looking silhouette along with a QR code that reads "Together we are strong" when scanned.
There are also other possible hints and clues about the character that come in the form of headlines like "World Championship Shocker: Why one lifting legend dropped weights," "how hard light could shape the future of training," and "512 steps to build a bionic-grade boot camp body." Check out the tweet for yourself below.

Blizzard's PAX East panel will be held in the Albatross Theatre on March 6 at 10:30am ET. I'm assuming that's when the new hero will be revealed.
