Overwatch is building up to a big expansion at the moment. While the price is controversial, the August Invasion expansion looks set to bring a bit more life to the game. However, in the same reveal as we got the limited PVE content announced, we also got our first look at the Season 6 OW Hero.
The next OW hero is coming up soon. Between what’s been shown publicly and some Overwatch leaks, we actually have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the very next hero! This is everything we’ve learnt about the Season 6 OW Hero so far.
Who is the Season 6 OW Hero?
The Season 6 OW Hero has a decent bit of information out there already. For a start, we’ve known for quite a while that this is going to be a Support Hero! Just like Lifeweaver, the Season 4 Hero, this is going to be a new choice for the support section which has been smaller than the other two for quite a while now.
Past that, we got an official look at the new character’s design in a recent trailed for OW Invasion.

That first tease is all we had for a little while. More recently, Blizzard has shared some fan art of that character which might give a clearer look at what’s coming. While official Overwatch accounts often share fan art, picking one of an upcoming hero is a bit stranger. It’s based purely on the silhouette we saw in the trailer. It’s possible that this means the fan art is quite a bit closer to the actual hero than what others have imagined so far. Their choice of emoji would seem to back that up too.

In terms of abilities, we’re largely in the dark so far. Players do expect the new support to have some extra mobility. The trailer seems to depict them using a cape or cloak of some kind to either fly or leap high. This could be a potential new mechanic for moving around on the map. This could make her a solid counter to other major heroes.
That’s roughly what we know about the Season 6 OW Hero. It’s still a big mystery at the moment though, with key information like their name not being out there yet.
Is There a Season 5 Hero?
OW won’t be getting a new Hero at any point in Season 5. Blizzard is only adding these bi-seasonally. Although their schedule has slipped a bit for some content, it does seem like they’re sticking to adding new OW characters every other season. That means the Season 6 OW hero is going to be the next one. After that, there’s a wait up to Season 8 to get another addition, the first non-support in a while.
We can expect to learn more about the Season 6 Overwatch Hero as the season gets closer to release. Blizzard has been sharing pretty regular information about them though, so keep an eye on Overwatch news to see what’s coming next over the coming weeks.
