With the wrestler-turned-actor now a part of Overwatch lore, the game’s story missions will be shown off by John Cena.
It was speculated that Cena himself might be in the game, but he is not. It is, however, he who is The Enigma, some hoodie-wearing tech nerd keeping an eye out for the omnic uprisings in places like Toronto, Rio, and Gothenburg. In the trailer for the upcoming Invasion story missions, which you can watch below, he is essentially putting out a call to action for the former Overwatch members. Of course, the trailer concludes with a cheesy reveal where he takes off his hood, as if you weren’t already certain it was him.
Cena’s full reveal came after several teases from various streamers in the form of an ARG, such as an image containing the colour hex code “#042377,” which is Cena’s birthday (April 23, 1977). Also, Cena teased his involvement on his own Instagram account. “It’s been fun seeing the Overwatch community put a face to The Enigma,” he wrote in a press release. There are times when a face that can’t be seen is all that’s needed to warn the world of a looming, worldwide threat.”
