All Doctrine abilities and Perks in Overwatch

Blizzard says the support hero uses two Infuse charges and an Ultimate that lowers enemy maximum health while boosting allies with overhealth.

  • At BlizzCon 2026, Blizzard Entertainment announced a new hero for Heroes of the Storm named Xal'atath, while also unveiling Doctrine, a vampire-inspired support character for Overwatch.
  • Xal'atath marks the first new Heroes of the Storm character in nearly six years, surprising fans after Blizzard effectively ended active development on the game in 2020.
  • Blizzard Entertainment pitched Doctrine as a vampire-inspired support hero with a high mechanical floor, launching alongside a new map in Overwatch Season 5 this October.
  • Addressing divisive gameplay, Blizzard announced dramatic reworks for Roadhog and Sombra, with the latter transitioning from damage to support in a rare role change.
  • Blizzard president Johanna Faries thanked fans for their support and suggested additional heroes could arrive in the near future as development continues.
