Doomfist appears to be coming to Overwatchthis August, according to files in the game's latest public test region update that refers to the update as "Doomfist/Summer Games."
Over the weekend, players on the OverwatchPTR noticed that the game's crash logs referred to the upcoming update 1.13 as Doomfist/Summer Games, pointing at the return of the Summer Games event and the potential reveal of Doomfist, a mysterious, gauntlet-wielding character in the Overwatch universe. Reddit user Cam3Ran collected examples of the reference from several different players.

Whether Doomfist will be a playable character in the next major update or a make an appearance in another PvE game mode as a boss that players have to fight is unknown.
Within the world of Overwatch, Doomfist is a bit of a mystery.
There is a set of posters on the map Numbani that show three different individuals wearing three different gauntlets, each referred to as Doomfist. This suggests that Doomfist isn't a single person, but a title given to people who wield powerful gauntlets. It also suggests that Doomfists have been both heroes and villains in the Overwatchuniverse.

The power of this Doomfist gauntlet was shown in the same trailer after a young kid says, "Oh man, they said he could level a skyscraper."
Via GiphyThe Doomfist gauntlet was stolen from the Numbani payload in February just before the release of game's latest character, Orisa. Along with the theft of the gauntlet, somebody (probably Doomfist) appeared to have punched the life out of a bunch of defensive robots in the Numbani airport.
