She was one of the marquee heroes prominently featured in the Prometheus "hero lineup" key art, and was also featured in early concept art created to help define the overall look of Overwatch's world, gameplay, and UI.[1]
She had the following ability:
- Mouth Beam
Trivia
Overwatch concept art featuring Recluse.
- Recluse was featured in an early piece of gameplay concept art by Ben Zhang. When showing this art at the D.I.C.E. 2017 conference, Jeff Kaplan took a moment to address the Overwatch subreddit, stating "No, the hero in the center is not the hero who you think it is," in reference to the then-rumored 24th hero, who turned out to be Orisa.[2]
- In addition to her Mouth Beam ability, it appears that she had the ability to deploy summon waves of small, quadrupedal robotic drones
- Her appearance is similar to that of the Junker Queen
