Overwatch 2 Hints at the Arrival of New Tank Hero 42

Overwatch 2 is building anticipation with the tease of its 42nd hero, expected to be introduced in Season 14. From early clues, this new hero appears to be a Scottish rebel leader of a group called the Phreaks, bringing a fresh dynamic to the tank role. Fans first noticed hints of this character back during Blizzcon 2023, where eagle-eyed players spotted an unnamed tank icon between Sigma and Winston. This accidental reveal fueled excitement, and recent trailers have only added to the speculation.

The official trailer for Overwatch 2 season 13 has been released. Check that out.

In the latest trailer for Season 13, titled “Spellbinder,” a mysterious Scottish voice is heard saying, “It’s looking like a revolution,” while the camera showcases a vandalized spawn room on the Oasis map. Graffiti with phrases like “Fight Back” and “Phreaks” can be seen alongside purple crystal shards, which could hint at the new hero’s abilities. Reddit users have also speculated that this new hero could be a reimagined version of a character initially designed for the canceled Project Titan MMO.

While Blizzard remains tight-lipped about the full details, fans are excited to see what this rebellious tank hero will bring to the game. Until more official information is revealed, Overwatch 2 players have plenty to keep them engaged in the current season.
