{{Infobox character | name = {{PAGENAME}} | image = Wildebeest Recall.png | caption = | realname = | relations = | age = | nationality = [[Numbani]] | occupation = Agent | affiliation = [[Overwatch_(group)|Overwatch]] (formerly) }} '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[heroes|hero]] that was created for [[Overwatch#Development|the pitch meeting]] for ''Prometheus'', which became ''[[Overwatch]]''. His design is taken from unused ''Titan'' concept art. He 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.<ref>2017-11-13, [http://blizzardwatch.com/2017/11/08/evolution-overwatchs-heroes/ The evolution of Overwatch’s heroes]. ''Blizzard Watch'', accessed on 2018-06-18</ref> He was also used as an early concept for [[Reinhardt]].<ref name="6Secrets">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzbNZCISJVU 6 Secrets about Overwatch's Tank Heroes by Jeff Kaplan]</ref> An early version of Wildebeest appeared in several early promotional illustrations depicting potential hero lineups for the game, and was also seen as one of the former [[Overwatch (group)|Overwatch]] agents contacted by [[Winston]] in the [[Recall]] animated short. Elements of this hero concept would later serve as a basis for [[Orisa]], while the flail and shield combination would eventually be incorporated into the hero design for [[Brigitte]]. One of Wildebeest's unused designs shares its color scheme with the [[OR15]] defense robots, while another strongly resembles [[Doomfist|Doomfist's]] Spirit skin.<ref>''[[The Art of Overwatch]]'', page 81</ref> ==Trivia== *Wildebeest's concept may have also been applied to [[Orisa]] and [[Brigitte]], because of his Numbani heritage and his flail weapon. *Wildebeest's image appears in ''[[Recall]]'', though is unnamed. *Wildebeest also cameos at the start of the [[Cinematic Trailer]], in the retconned image of the Overwatch team. *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildebeest Wildebeest] are a type of antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. ==Images== <gallery> File:Reinhardt Concepts.jpg|Concept art of "Reinhardt" </gallery> ==References== <references/> [[Category: Unreleased heroes]] [[Category: Overwatch members]]
