Overwatch 2 is already getting new tanks and damage heroes in the form of Sojourn and Junker Queen respectively, but hints of a new fox-style support hero also continue to appear, first in the Xbox trailer. hidden line of code at the end of beta versions.
Skip to a certain point in the official Overwatch 2 intro and you can briefly see an ethereal bluish fox running away from a pack of pursuers. This happened on June 12, and soon after, on June 28, a beta followed: Sojourn and Junker Queen were playable, but nothing else even remotely related to foxes was mentioned.
That was until July 19, when the Overwatch 2 beta officially ended. Attentive fans noticed a cryptic message appearing in the game’s chat just before it went offline:
V2hhdCBkb2VzIHRoZSBmb3ggc2F5Pw==
It’s not a problem in your browser or I accidentally copied and pasted the YouTube link backend. This is a message from Blizzard to everyone playing the Overwatch 2 beta. What could this possibly mean? It begins with the letter V. Female foxes are called vixens. Maybe that. Also, the two equal signs at the end look like a tail, and foxes… do they have… tails?
No. It turns out that this message is written in Base64, a binary-to-text encoding language used in computer programming. Equals signs are an intentional distribution: used as a plugin to separate one encoded message from another, they are intentionally offered to Overwatch 2 players as a hint that what they are seeing is written in Base64.
So all you have to do is add V2hhdCBkb2VzIHRoZSBmb3ggc2F5Pw== to the translation tool, and voila, you’ll get the actual message:
“What does the Fox say?”
Yes. This is a crazy viral video from 2013.
Combined with what we saw in the release date trailer, it seems like a clear nod to Overwatch 2’s upcoming support hero. a short online survey. – and it seems to confirm that someone is agile in the FPS way.
We’ll likely get more information ahead of time, but we’ll know for sure when Overwatch 2 launches on October 4.
