Jon Spector, Overwatch commercial leader & VP at Blizzard, has shared some information about the next playable character coming to Overwatch 2 – describing them as a “stronger support hero.”
We don’t have much to go on regarding the 37th hero to join the Overwatch 2 roster – after all, we only just got a look at the 36th hero Ramattra, a tank who will be joining the game at the beginning of season two starting on December 6.
Spector did provide some clues though, speaking at a Korean Overwatch 2 meet-and-greet event. When asked about what fans can expect from the game’s next hero, Spector replied:
“Hero development takes a long time,” said Spector (transcription by Inven, via Overwatch Cavalry). “You have to come up with ideas from the beginning of development to the end. It starts with figuring out a concept that players can enjoy. You have to be able to get into the worldview. Proceed in a direction that can broaden the overall hero pool. Each hero role is properly harmonised and released in order. Ramattra is a season 2 charge hero, and the next hero will be a stronger support hero.”
