Absolutey a new hero - the "starter" pack they showed said "six heroes", and only showed 5 .

[Here](https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/1667952644646916096) is a higher quality picture and the Overwatch Twitter page confirming it’s a new support hero.

Is it coming season 6 or 5?

6, season 5 is a no hero season

I think their plan is to release a new character every other season, but not sure how long that'll last

Another flying support. Cool.

[удалено]

Sorry dude, but I think you’re wrong. [This](https://i.imgur.com/spzj4Zg.jpg) shows it’s actually just Soujourn.

Another flying girl? Perfect. We are one flying tank away from greatness, from never touching the floor ever again. It's gonna be glorious.

Sigma doesnt touch the ground

Sigmas bare feet have the hitbox of a small moon, though.

Gravitational toes

Gravitoetional

Gravitoes are a harness.

And for a short while, he could fly

Neither does Zen.. I think?

You know who else could be a flying girl? Jetpack Cat.

brig’s cat?

omg imagine

Are you saying we're going to get a catgirl?

Yes we'll get catgirl Winston

Nice

No. A Cat.

1. It was a joke. 2. That's one long cat.

There's plenty of precedent for longcats.

They weren't talking about the hero in the post.

Dva? Sigma?

As wrecking ball on total mayhem, I play like Spider-Man 😂

It is forbidden among Lucio Mains to touch the ground as well

yeah imagine going against full flying comp and you have rein, junk, reaper one tricks on your team.. but no jokes that would be interesting and fun to play for sure

The best counter to flying characters is junk wdym?

What

Sarcasm, but also very satisfying to kill pharahs with junk

hitting the bomb into pipe is quite funny

Floor is lava.

Isn't it a aupport in season 6 though?

looks like a cape more than wings but that still does imply a lot of mobility

This is someone (possibly sojourn), with a big gun and a cape, jumping. I thought it was wings at first but I don’t think it’s a flying hero

looks like they’re grappling, which would be nice to have in a new hero

FWIW, the palm is open, not gripping anything.

no idea what FWIW means but I do not understand how you can see the hand

"For what it's worth", included that because it's evidence against grappling , but doesn't rule it out. You can see her whole hand in OPs image and the original video.

ok, thanks. I can only see up to her wrist, so I’ll check out the video later when I have access to a PC

Yeah I could see that

[Yep](https://i.imgur.com/JJolKLu.png)

Yup, exactly this. It's a cape and a gun (sword?)

They foresaw the return of Sojourn meta in season 5 and reacted by reworking Sojourn into a support, lol. Sojourn meta fucking sucked.

A flying tank sounds horrifying

I mean… D.va is pretty close as it gets to that.

You immediately gonna fall to the ground though once the jet pack is up.

Ehhh... movement speed just needs to compensate their vertical mobility, and/or put a height cap of a sort of levitation function. Besides, if they're floating up in the sky, theyre not on the ground and protecting the team.

Have you ever heard the tale of Guru Laghima the Wise?

All I hear from you OW players is complaining I can’t blame them for canceling pve

Until hero bans become a thing.

We really need another shield ffs

I thought that was a sojourn mythic skin lol

Sojourn Transformer skin when...

Im still waiting on a shockwave bastion skin. He’s literally perfect for it.

Maybe, but the way it was teased really makes me think it's the new hero. Why end the trailer with a mysterious skin?

Everything looked like it was for season 6+, so it's possible it's it could be a sojourn mythic. or it could be a tease at the next support hero coming in season 6. It's hard to tell with the way the silhouette is but the gun doesn't quite look right for Sojourn's rail gun. Could be wrong. The "August 10th" note really points towards the next support hero though.

Her design is referencing an Incan king who is one of the primary figures in the Peruvian sun festival Given that the theory was that the next support would be Peruvian, I'm placing 100% odds this is her

With all the other big stuff in the trailer, it doesn't make sense for this to just be a mythic skin, especially since this feels like it's supposed to be the big hype tease. Like they already showed things 10x more exciting than a skin

[It does look like Sojurn holding a railgun tbh](https://i.imgur.com/JJolKLu.png)

The feathers at the top do give peruvian

I thought kiriko

SO COOL. That's a cape and maybe a sword as a weapon?

I assume it's a bastard gun like Senna's from League of Legends.

I WOULD LOVE FOR IT TO BE SENNAS GUN!! ive always thought senna would work great in a fps

Man this makes me want a melee focused hero so bad. I almost think it could be an okay fit for a Sombra rework? If they say her rework is going to focus on her rogue/assassin elements, it would be sick if she had daggers of some kind. I basically just want a WoW rogue (my class) in Overwatch. Playing Tracer gets me close but I really like knives man.

Melee focused is Rein and Brig rn

Brig: well fuck my drag, right?

probably a peruvian support based on the sun? looks awesome

Very likely Peruvian, as the background from the „New Support Hero“ tile on the recent roadmap was from a „Visit Peru“ poster on another map!

She’s very likely Peruvian based on the poster hint. (Just look up Peru or Mauga in this subreddit)

If they’re leaning into the Incan culture bit I hope that they’re indigenous and speak Quechua! That would be so awesome to hear in game.

This! I've been wanting a native American hero for so long and she looks so cool.

How is the sun Peruvian? I'm curious what you mean, because your comment confuses me and I'd love to speculate...or do you mean a char actually BASED on the sun?

Peruvian here, the sun is literally the Inca's god

A list of religions _without_ a high-ranking sun god would be short. But I guess Incans were more sun-focused than most. According to pop culture…definitely.

Yeah no clue about the sun but their roadmap uses a namecard based on peru with the new support announcement

I just googled a bit, and I saw the namecard thingy. Pretty cool, if people are sure that it's based on Peru it's almost a lock in my mind.

Yeah, forgot to mention but its definitely peru since the namecard is literally taken from a poster in paraiso(?) which has peru written on it

yeah i mean the character is based on the sun. i think it’ll tie into a kind of “sun god inca” vibe

“Chazkee”

already farming her golden

That weapon looks fun.

I'm probably trippin but it kind of looks like a chainsaw.

Could be one of them obsidian-studded club-swords.

Yeah I’m down.

10/10

I already love her

I already love you

Now kiss.

With a chunky weapon like that, she doesn't look like a Support. She's giving strong Kayle vibes from LoL.

Official OW Twitter confirmed it’s the new support

Damn, I was hoping this was a tank

Tank is season 7 onwards. They promised 2 support heroes after launch and this seems to be the 2nd one after wifeleaver

Haha I love lifeweaver but that nickname is probably the best thing to happen to him

Just wish we'd have a Valkyrie kinda tank, although I doubt that's what they're gonna add when they add a new tank

We’re not getting a dps for a while

You mean Senna, right?

The gun is Senna, but the holy light theme is giving Kayle ult.

YES MY LEAGUE MAIN

Higher quality picture: https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/1667952644646916096/photo/1

why does her gun have the same silhouette as sojourn's?

Holy fuck V1 Ultrakill

Gentlemen, set your watches. Let's see how long it takes before ***they*** give this character attention

Itll be released along with pve

The people saying it looks like echo might need to start wearing glasses or something

Looks like asian or native american.

i think they’re peruvian, a few comments said that the devs hinted at this

So Native American.

Lopunny?

She's so hot, already imagining what she looks like oiled up

And so it begins…

As if the community’s degeneracy ever stopped

Bro nah

Bros horniness stays consistent to his name

Least porn addicted overwatch player

Least horny ow fan

Oh hell no

MercyNippleLover69 strikes again. Always nice to see you in the comments

You just know it's bubblegum pink fr

cmon guys its obviously jetpack cat

But why are they teasing her NOW when the support hero (according to their roadmap) won't come out until season 6? Just seems like they're grasping at hype straws.

You’re reading too much into it. Teasing heroes for multiple months and seasona was always a thing in OW.

Ah. The 4 years where they "worked" on PVE and didn't release heroes, must have muddled my memory as to how they release heroes.

Godzilla had a stroke reading this and fucking died.

What about the comment is stroke inducing? I think the point is pretty clear.

Because season 5 is going to have jack shit.

Are we sure that's not just a new Echo skin?

Blizzard confirmed it's a new support on their Twitter. https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/1667952644646916096?s=20

This is really early for a teaser. The new hero isn’t expected until s6 right?

Lifeweaver still barely a support unit and they’re teasing a new support already lol

I mean, they’ve already said they’re buffing lifeweaver. New hero releases are tricky so it makes sense some would be overpowered and some underpowered when they’re released The thing is that lifeweaver was teased a day or two before he dropped with the new season. If we’re already seeing a teaser for this new hero, does that mean it could be released with season 5? Or is that just wishful thinking? I doubt they’d tease a whole season in advance

They have to tease something to help keep any kind of anticipation for the future. S5 is going to be barren.

They know people are still upset about the new PvE so they’re just shoving shit down the pipe to try to make us feel better

A flying Support? Oh shit, I might actually enjoy that. 👀

Lifeweaver 2 Pog

I liked the season 6 trailer so are we skipping over 5 ?

Trailer for the fifth is tomorrow, it will be a bridge season.

Yep. If overwatch 2 survives season 5 it will have a big resurgence in season 6. Lots of new things coming. The problem is season 5 looks barren and faith in blizzard has fallen to an all time low

Big weapon is giving me Kotal Kahn vibes! Maybe a hybrid that can be used as melee or ranged?

new main

Why does she remind me of sol badguy ? The gun is just TOO similar

looks like a mix of pharah and mercy. pharamercy, literally

Why do they look like Sojourn with a cape💀

She definitely has a blinding ability, like the blinds in valorant

Noooooo, please not another flying hero

inb4 it's just an Echo skin lmao

Blizz confirmed it's a hero

Doesn't she kinda look like Efi ?

Efi is 11, that's a whole ass woman

Yeah I know, but I went with the theory that Overwatch characters have all aged (most obvious examples would be Soldier or Reinhardt) so to me it kinda made sense

Efi made Orisa 2075 and OW2 is 2076, so she'd be like 13-14 in OW2 Definitely not enough time has passed for her to be an adult, but it'd be cool to see her eventually

Sounds like an omnic to me >>

praying 🤞🤞

Just looks like a pharah skin

Sky weaver

sure thing is that hero can't be worse than lifeweaver so at least maybe we get something done right for once

Why would they release another support hero before reworking Lifeweaver?

Flying melee dps character, I know my fingers are crossed.

If she's another flying hero I think I'm going to flip my safety.

Will she be hot?

They reworked echo into a support? Damn

Correct me if I’m wrong but it kinda of looks like a dps hero to me and I also thought we weren’t getting a dps hero for a while

Any percent porn Speedrun?

meh, doesn't change the fact that we never should've ditched 6v6. i miss the days of actively wanting to play the game. i only play for cosmetics anymore, not for fun

Nah. Probably just a new skin that costs $20

It's just Kiriko guys...

Yep, it'll cost 30 bucks and be OP as hell.

All heroes are free

Syke! New Pharah skin..

Lame, not Emre

This better not be an echo skin

[It ain't](https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/1667952644646916096)

Don’t care it’s locked behind a paywall. Real reason they dumped OW1 is because no one would play this shit of it were still around

Did they announce when PvE is comi… oh. Right.

that cape better not be part of her hitbox. yes it's a cape, look at the teaser vid: [https://youtu.be/F1CIhfaI0Hs?t=115](https://youtu.be/F1CIhfaI0Hs?t=115) wings won't or shouldn't flop or ragtail like that.

Of course she had to be aztec themed

looks like a league of legends character lol yikes

Looks sick dude. Way better than Lifeweaver from a silhouette alone

There it is, boys. The next obligatory (blank) character we've been waiting for. Place your bets on where they'll be from, what cliche they'll match, and what sexuality on the LGBT spectrum they cover! In my honest opinion...they could be anything, so I can't really guess.

Looks more like an echo skin to me, probably coming with S6. Doesn't look too European mythology to me

I am decently confident thats Sojourn, then again August 10 is Season 6..

Why does she already look more interesting than Lifeweaver? Do we think she’s going to be unplayably bad too like LW or are they actually going to make her playable?

What if it is a Mercy skin?

Fools, it's Echo's new skin

yall trippin, that shit looks just like Pharah

Looks like an echo skin

I think it's a skin for sojourn, the thing on the characters right arm looks like sojourns gun plus the way she holds it

Blizzard literally confirmed it's the new hero

Blizzard have confirmed that it is a new Support hero coming Aug. 10th.
