Summary
SomeOverwatch 2players believe that the new hero Freja is actually Huntress from Blizzard’s canceled game,Titan. This theory has sparked conversation on social media, with many arguing that other heroes inOverwatch 2’s roster may have also drawn inspiration from Blizzard’s scrapped game.
Overwatch 2offers players a wide range of heroes to choose from to hit the battlefield. Each hero features different playstyles that help them serve various purposes in a match. As with many other multiplayer games, the main roles are Tank, Damage, and Support. Since its release, Blizzard has added new heroes to the roster, expanding gameplay possibilities and players' options. Recently, Blizzard revealedtwo new heroes coming toOverwatch 2: Aqua and Freja. And fans already have an interesting theory about one of them.
A player known as blvkwords sparked a discussion on Reddit aboutOverwatch 2’s new hero Freja. The player put forward the theory that Freja is actually Huntress from Blizzard’s canceled MMO,Titan. To support their theory, they shared two images of Huntress, where some similarities to the new hero can be seen. Both heroes’ main weapon is a crossbow, and the two of them wear a cloak. Though the player didn’t elaborate further on the theory, this was enough to ignite a discussion within the game’s community.
Players Believe Freja is Huntress from Titan
Many players believe that blvkwords’ theory is fairly likely, given how Blizzard has handled the creation of other heroes in the past. One player pointed out that Genji’s original concept was split intoGenji and Hanzo inOverwatch 2. Another player brought up Mama Hong, a hero created for the pitch ofOverwatchthat was taken from aTitanconcept art.
Some players in the comments weren’t too thrilled about the idea of Blizzard recycling old content for its games, though others don’t mind as much. Some trust that this doesn’t undermine the game’s quality, noting that many other popular titles likeElden RingandRDR2have seemingly done the same.
Even though fans never got to know much about Huntress, they do know some of the thingsFreja will bring toOverwatch 2later in 2025. Freja can deal a lot of damage while moving fast across the battlefield thanks to the dash she can perform while reloading. She also deals explosive damage with her alternative fire, Take Aim. Whether or not Blizzard took inspiration fromTitanto create Freja will remain a mystery, but players will be able to learn more about the new hero when she is released in Season 16.
