Overwatch 2 New Characters: Sojourn Confirmed as Hero 32
Also likely to appear in Overwatch 2 is Echo, the robot first revealed as an important player in the "Reunion" animated short.
Game director Jeff Kaplan has only confirmed Sojourn will appear in Overwatch 2, but Blizzard has also claimed Overwatch 2 would launch with multiple new heroes. Who those heroes will be remains unknown.
Overwatch 2 will finally advance the game's narrative arc with story-focused player-vs-environment missions, potentially leading to a swathe of new heroes not already present in the game's previously released materials.
No release date has yet been set for Overwatch 2.
