Is a new Overwatch map and hero incoming?

A small step for Blizzard, a giant leap for our hype level.

Overwatch's Anniversary event has been going on for a week now, and some of the most noteworthy things it includes are new maps. This has led some of you to believe that we'll have to wait for quite some time for a new hero or map, but that might not be the case.

Blizzard has released new "Breaking Update" posts that give us an update about the Horizon Lunar Colony.

Earlier this month data miners found audio files that we thought might be for an upcoming map taking us to the moon, so this seems like a perfect fit. On the other hand, there wouldn't be much point in mentioning "Hammond" if they were teasing a map. Maybe Jeff Kaplan gave us one of his classic teases when he said that the next hero was "on the horizon" a few days ago? Could it be that we're getting both a map and hero at the same time? Only time will tell.

Which one would you prefer?
