Jinkx Monsoon, the winner of season five of RuPaul’s Drag Race, has thrown her hat into the ring to voice Overwatch’s Queen of Junkertown. 

Here’s how Blizzard combined Left 4 Dead and Overwatch lore to create their best event yet. 

The Queen of Junkertown first caught our attention back in September – when Overwatch’s Junkertown map was released. Though we never actually see her majesty in person, we hear her voice as we make our way through the escort map – and the walls are lined with posters of the enigmatic leader of scrappers.

This has led fans to speculating that the Queen of Junkertown could be Overwatch’s next hero – or at least a future hero.

But who would voice such a fiesty queen? Well, how about our favourite narcoleptic drag queen – Jinkx Monsoon. She’s certainly interested (via DBLTAP).

Unfortunately, as fans were quick to point out, the Queen of Junkertown already has a voice actor. But there’s no denying Jinkx would bring some extra flare to Blizzard – she just needs to work on her Australian accent.
