Overwatch fans are eagerly awaiting its second season after the popular hero shooter’s successful 2026 refresh, and Blizzard has gone ahead and unveiled the game’s next new hero ahead of Season 2.

Overwatch Unveils new hero coming in season 2

It’s safe to say that 2026 has so far been one of the most important years in Overwatch‘s now decade-long history. Blizzard cut Season 20 short in favor of a full refresh, dropping the “2” in Overwatch 2, and bringing in five new heroes to kick off Season 1: Domina, Emre, Mizuki, Anran, and the ever-popular Jetpack Cat, the game’s zaniest new hero since Wrecking Ball joined the roster way back in 2018.

The buzz around Overwatch‘s new strategy has been very positive, with fans getting excited about Blizzard’s fresh story drops, including the latest cinematic depicting Vendetta’s violent Talon takeover, and the game’s new seasonal cadence. Furthermore, Blizzard promised that every season will add a new hero to the roster, with five more heroes set to be added throughout the course of 2026, the next of which has just been revealed.

KEy details about the new hero are still unknown
