Overwatch is already teasing its latest new hero, and she arrives in just a few short weeks

It feels like Overwatch just dropped five new heroes (it did, in February), but the game's 51st playable character is somehow already on the way. Season two of the new and improved Overwatch (without the 2 in the title) is coming in two weeks on April 14, and Blizzard has already begun the teases with a first look at the new hero, and she looks like she's bringing a cute drone friend with her: Image via Blizzard Entertainment Blizzard didn't reveal any info about her just yet, but she looks like a hi-tech soldier of some kind with a long rifle, a pink bird-like drone, and a very long ponytail that I hope she's able to whip around and use as a weapon. And obviously, she's adorable. But between the gun, drone, and her Widowmaker-like hair length, she might have quite the kit (Blizzard actually confirmed that the new hero's hair is longer than Widowmaker's). Odds are that she will be another new Damage hero, too. This newest character will mark the sixth addition to the roster already in 2026, and there's still four more in the works throughout the end of the year in Overwatch's re-brand and mega-update to focus more on lore, in-game events, a UI refresh, and a lot more that began last month. Blizzard told me that the new character's name and trailer will be revealed next week, but I'm sure Overwatch lore hounds will already figure out and infer a lot about her by then. There's some speculation that she's from the Helix Security International faction, but I'll leave the discussion up to those more in the know than me at this point. Image via Blizzard Entertainment The new hero will join the roster officially when season two of Overwatch kicks off in a couple weeks on April 14, but more will be revealed in the hero trailer on April 8.
