If you've been keeping up with Overwatch news, you'll know that Blizzard has been teasing a new hero as of last week, and they've kept teasing this week, as evident via their latest Twitter post.

The post has the following image, along with the message: "[BREAKING] OR15 defense units destroyed in confrontation with unidentified assailant at Numbani airport. No civilian casualties reported." This would align with the character Efi Oladele previously teased by Blizzard, who has an interest in robotics.

That's not all, though, as the Overwatch PTR has also been updated, and the map Numbani (the same as the airport in the Twitter picture) has changed. Whereas Doomfist's gauntlet used to be in the payload, this is no longer the case, and the team spawn in the airport is now destroyed, being filled with OR15 robots, as pictured below by Reddit user Diviran.

What does this all mean, and how does Oladele fit into this?
