Update: Overwatch Posts a Second Teaser, Possibly for Hero 28
Update 06/26/18: The Overwatch account has now posted a second teaser set in the same location as the first - the difference being that a gigantic, rolling... something now rolls through the shot.
Many are speculating that this is Hero 28, although some have speculated that it could be to do with the return of the annual Summer Games event. That event usually kicks off in August, but it could perhaps come a little early to tie into the FIFA World Cup taking place at the moment.

Life Is Strange 2 Prequel Captain Spirit Gets Release Dates
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit now has global release dates. Developer Dontnod Entertainment tweeted today that the free Life Is Strange sequel will release June 25 in North America and Europe and June 26 in Australia.
Captain Spirit was first announced last week during Microsoft's E3 media showcase. Set three years after Life Is Strange, Captain Spirit tells the story of a 10-year-old boy named Chris who either is or believes he is the titular superhero — it's not clear which is the case.
Although Chris is new to the series, the choices players make for him will affect the events of the upcoming Life Is Strange 2. Still, the game tells a self-contained story, so playing the first Life Is Strange won't be necessary for anyone wanting to take advantage of a free game offer.
Better Call Saul Will Add Another Breaking Bad Character
Better Call Saul will introduce another Breaking Bad character in Season 4.
Per The Wrap, creator Vince Gilligan revealed during his Masterclass panel that a "very important" Breaking Bad character will appear in the upcoming new season.
“There’s a very important character from the Breaking Bad era that we’re going to meet this year,” Gilligan said.
Though Gilligan did not specifically say which character will be added, he did promise fans will be pleased by the addition. Gilligan also teased a darker season for Better Call Saul.
"Season 4 is so good,” Gilligan said. “It gets darker, it gets richer. It’s still got funny in it, but on the Venn diagram of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, the overlap in the center is getting bigger and bigger.”
