The game "Overwatch" might have just been released by its developer Blizzard on May 24, but since then, a lot of attention has been put on the characters who will be included in it. Now, as the game moves into the phase following its unveiling, gamers have been speculating about who the new character named Liao is and whether or not he will be added to the roster when the game's DLC lands.

More importantly, the new character named Liao was spotted in a blog post that was found on a website for the game. In the post, the five founders of Overwatch were mentioned, and for gamers, they were very easily identified. These are Morrison (Soldier: 76), Amari (Pharah's mother), Reyes (Reaper), Wilhelm, and Lindholm. Pointing to these five, PCGamesN states that the extra character named Liao, who is also mentioned as a founding member, really caused some eyebrows to rise. 

The report goes on to add that nothing much is known about the character and, in fact, his name only pops up once in the blog post. However, many gamers and analysts were quick to point out that since the character has a Chinese-sounding name, he could be someone who is associated with the character Mei-Ling Zhou and has some significance in his past. Gamers are also speculating that a freak accident during a lab experiment that went wrong would have caused Liao to have special powers and now, he might be using them to operate as a villain or a hero.

Others are simply of the opinion that Liao is going to the next character being released in a DLC pack. There are also indications that this particular character will be arriving along with Sombra. Sombra has already been confirmed by Blizzard and she is expected to favor a sniper rifle but the character did not release with the game. This hints towards Sombra and Liao arriving in the first DLC which could be releasing in June.
