I&#8217;ll have to jump into season 1 next week to see how it all comes together, but it certainly sounds promising. I did, however, get to try the new heroes. They&#8217;re all incredibly fun to play and feel designed to stretch what Overwatch heroes can even be.<\/p>\n<p>Take Domina, for example, a snotty, rich lady tank who can drop a big shield that breaks in sections instead of all at once like Reinhardt&#8217;s. Anran is a confident young Chinese girl who has has two versions of her ultimate: While she&#8217;s alive, it burns enemies to a crisp around her, but if used while she&#8217;s dead, she can come back to life in a burst of flames. And then there&#8217;s the cat. Jetpack Cat is an adorable orange tabby who can zoom around and attach a rope to an enemy player and toss them off the map. She can pick up allies too, which has me anticipating the moment I become Willem Dafoe squinting at the sky as a flying Cassidy High Noons me back into spawn.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:8500px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:50.40%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"hq2QSC3tZyH6x9L9qbwn3\" name=\"2026 Hero Lineup_Season 1\" alt=\"Concept art of upcoming Overwatch heroes.

It&#8217;s desperately needed to be a little goofier and a little more bold with the types of heroes it releases. And by the look of the silhouettes for who&#8217;s coming next, I expect the game to feel a lot different by the end of the year (I spy a robot in a trench coat and a D.Va-sized mech in there).<\/p>\n<p>Overwatch might actually be back when season 1 launches on February 10.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"6103836e-1fef-4a00-a9f5-1c73ad867d68\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/overwatchs-biggest-season-ever-kicks-off-with-5-new-heroes-all-at-once-including-a-cat-with-a-jetpack-who-can-toss-you-off-the-map.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"6103836e-1fef-4a00-a9f5-1c73ad867d68\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/overwatchs-biggest-season-ever-kicks-off-with-5-new-heroes-all-at-once-including-a-cat-with-a-jetpack-who-can-toss-you-off-the-map\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I flew down to Blizzard HQ last week to see what the Overwatch 2 team had been cooking for the last few years, I expected a couple of new heroes and an animated cinematic.
