Will Overwatch 2 Season 13 feature a new Hero?

Unfortunately, Overwatch 2 Season 13 will not feature a new Hero with the latest update. However, players can expect the developers to implement a range of Hero buffs and nerfs to balance and change up the meta for the newest season.

Tanks, we believe, will be seeing nerfs, and we expect a slight bit of adjustment to the nature of Support Heroes to better suit the fast-paced gameplay experience that has been brought forth with Season 12.

Lastly, we believe that Season 13 will feature unique Halloween-themed skins and events upon its debut, providing players with a spooky and fun gameplay experience.
