Blizzard has revealed Sierra, the 51st hero for Overwatch, as a damage-role character set to join the game with the launch of Season 2 in Reign of Talon on April 14. She marks the first of five new heroes planned for the shooter this year. The announcement includes a teaser trailer showcasing some of her abilities.
Blizzard announced Sierra, a new damage hero for Overwatch, who will arrive alongside Season 2 of the Reign of Talon season on Tuesday, April 14. The character features tanned skin, long pink-tinged hair, and a southern American accent. She wields a plasma-firing rifle and employs a flying arm bot functioning as a grappling hook, as shown in the Summit Breach cinematic trailer released with the reveal, as first reported by Eurogamer.net. In the trailer, Sierra engages new hero Emre on a bridge over a canyon, firing bursts from her rifle and deploying a homing beacon that summons a barrage of plasma missiles. Details on her ultimate ability remain undisclosed, with Blizzard expected to provide more information soon. Sierra is the first of five additional heroes slated for Overwatch this year, one per Reign of Talon season. Reign of Talon debuted in February with an expansion-sized update that introduced five new heroes. Season 2 will also bring a dedicated version of Overwatch for Switch 2, alongside adjustments to maps, game modes, and certain existing heroes. Overwatch, previously known as Overwatch 2, continues to receive yearly expansions under Blizzard's revitalization plan.
