Expected for next October 4, Overwatch 2 is kindly awaited by the players. After presenting the new dps, Sojourn, and the new tank, Junker Queen, it’s the turn of the third and last new hero to introduce himself to us through a gameplay trailer revealing his abilities, in addition to the first battle pass that will arrive when the game is released for Season 1.
Kiriko enters the battlefield
Kiriko is therefore the new heroine who joins Overwatch as a support for her team, and she shows us her abilities in a short gameplay video. In addition to being able to climb walls like Genji or Hanzo, Kiriko’s main role will be to support her team by healing her allies and protecting them from any attack.
However, the developers insist that while Kiriko is a support type character, she can easily surprise her opponents in the hands of a seasoned player, with in particular his teleportation and his formidable kunaïs when they are well placed.
