Overwatch's Next Hero Is Sierra, but We Don't Know Much Else Yet
Blizzard says Sierra will join the roster next week and hints at a damage hero with a homing attack and drone-based mobility.
- On Wednesday, April 8, Overwatch revealed its 51st hero, Sierra, in a new trailer ahead of Season 2's debut on April 14. The season, titled Summit, introduces Sierra to the game's roster.
- Sierra appears to oppose the Talon-centric storyline that began last season. The trailer shows her confronting the Deadlock Gang while attempting to retrieve stolen items from Watchpoint: Grand Mesa.
- Overwatch associate game director Alec Dawson previously described the damage hero's kit as a "really satisfying skill shot." The trailer demonstrates Sierra using a pulse rifle, aerial drone maneuvers, and homing devices.
- Players hope Sierra balances better than recent damage releases like Freja and Vendetta, who faced bans after release due to high burst damage. Developers promised one new hero each season during the storyline.
- Blizzard confirmed every new hero over the next year will impact the game's Talon-centric narrative. Alongside Sierra's debut, the upcoming season will also feature a long-awaited redesign for damage hero Anran.
