You won't have to wait too much longer for the next Overwatch hero.
Overwatch's latest hero, Orisa IB Times [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/169787-Overwatchs-Orisa-Releases-on-March-21#&gid=gallery_7048&pid=1], game director Jeff Kaplan said that the next hero is very far along in development, and will release sooner than you may think.
"Yes! I absolutely know who the next hero is going to be," Kaplan said. "The next hero is very far along in development, so we're at the point where we're doing art for that hero, we're doing a lot of aggressive play-testing.
"We know what that hero, what the abilities are and how they interact, so we're at that point. The heroes past that hero are more in prototype, exploration phase but the next hero we're pretty set on."
Blizzard has teased an Overwatch announcement [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/169964-Overwatch-Announcement-Teased-Details-Expected-Next-Week] for next week, which could very much be the reveal of the new hero.

Could hero number 25 finally be the Terry Crews-voiced Doomfist we deserve? One can only hope!
