Efi Oladele lets herself be known - Could this be the next Hero?

Blizzard is keeping everyone on their toes, with their newest teaser of what could be the next hero.

Earlier today we shared the community's speculation surrounding Doomfist and Overwatch's next hero. In fact, we might have just gotten to know the actual person you will soontm be able to play with, thanks to Blizzard.

We know Overwatch is a world shaped by (semi-)recent technological events. Omnics are fighting to become equal to humans, plenty of people seem to have access to all kinds of advanced gadgets, and we even have a character capable of resurrecting the dead. It is still hard to estimate just how common this kind of technology is however, and how important the developers have made it in the universe. 

Just like characters such as Symmetra, Torbjörn and Mei, the character teased today has a very close relationship with technology, and robotics and Artificial Intelligence specifically. It seems that we should prepare most upcoming heroes to be heavily reliant on technology. 
Will we this time be welcoming another hero dependent on gadgets? Or will she be more similar to a hero such as Soldier: 76 or Sombra, where the technology is part of their person?

Meet Efi Oladele.

We have learned so far that Efi is an 11-year old genius, who has received a grant in order to continue her work at the Adawe Foundation. She wants to 'create things that make our lives better', and has some plans for what she will  be doing with their new support. What it is the post doesn't say, but we hope Blizzard will soon share more with us while we mourn the loss of Doomfist for now.
