New Hero: Mauga
Blizzard
- Mauga was first introduced in an Overwatch short story in 2019.
- Mauga is the first Samoan hero in Overwatch (Mauga means mountain in Samoan). Blizzard has worked with cultural experts and Samoan tattoo artists to bring Mauga to life.
- Mauga is playable in Overwatch 2 right now!
- He can charge in alone or stick to his team. His passive abilities allow him to perform well alone.
- Mauga's guns (called Gunny and Chacha) are hitscan, meaning you will hit the target as long as you have the enemy in your crosshair. They are the biggest guns in the game.

Blizzard
- Mauga's role is Tank.
- Mauga can light players on fire with his left-click (which has synergies with Ash's dynamite).
