Overwatch 2, which has been officially renamed as Overwatch, is getting a hefty update next week!
To help kick off The Reign of Talon, Season 1 on February 10, players will have the option of choosing from a tank, two support characters, and two damage characters.
According to Aaron Keller, the game director, the "large influx of characters will inevitably lead to balance issues - and that's without considering how overwhelming it can be to play a new character you're unfamiliar with." With that being said, surely the team has something in store to balance it out later.
As for the characters, here's what to expect.

As for the characters, here's what to expect.
- Emre (Damage): "Emre brings a fast-paced, run‑and‑gun damage style."
- Domina (Tank): "Domina is the first true poke tank since Sigma—an elegant long‑range controller with deadly zone dominance."
- Mizuki (Support): "Mizuki is a member of the Hashimoto clan, which is aligned with Talon." Combines his use of blades and healing abilities to support the team.
- Anran (Damage): "Anran harnesses the power of Fire when in the heat of battle."
- Jetpack Cat (Support): "Little is known about Jetpack Cat other than how dangerous she is in fights, with quick reflexes and a kit befitting a feline Hero."
