Which class could feature the newest Hero in Overwatch 2?

While there's no official confirmation yet, players at large speculate that the upcoming Hero in Overwatch 2 could possibly be a Tank. This wave of speculation is solely based on footage that was initially shown during the Blizzcon 2023 event.

During Blizzcon 2023, the developers showcased three of the characters that were in development and queued for release up until Overwatch 2 Season 12. This includes characters such as Mauga, Juno, and Venture. However, alongside these Heroes, the footage that was showcased also had placeholder icons for other Heroes coming in later seasons.

One such icon was found to be right along the Tank Hero selection screen. While the image in the icon remains obscure, there is quite a bit of speculation indicating that the upcoming Hero might possibly be from the Tank class.

Tanks in Overwatch 2 are the forerunners. They create space for their team, hold down areas, and have a utility that allows their own team to push forward. Judging by the trend of which new Heroes have been released since the debut of the game, it grows increasingly evident that a Tank Hero might be in development for the upcoming Seasons.

With Juno's release in OW2 Season 12, we believe that a Hero release will not be queued at least until Season 14. There is still a lot to explore with regard to Juno's potential, and beyond that, developers also have the task of implementing a strict wave of balance updates in the game.

Furthermore, the 6v6 playlist is on the line, and we believe that a brand-new Hero release will only be featured after these issues are handled first.
