Overwatch 2's Sojourn is already proving an immensely popular addition to the game, and players are already declaring her one of the best heroes in Overwatch's history.
Sojourn's primary weapon is a railgun, where a fast-firing primary attack charges up a hitscan secondary which can quickly melt opponents. She's got a power slide that can help you quickly get around the map, an AOE attack that adds to the effectiveness of her main weapon, and an ultimate that lets you rapidly fire off those big railgun shots.
That combination of fast movement and devastating railgun have old-school FPS fans reminiscing about Quake, one of the most important and influential multiplayer shooters ever built.

We'll see what that change means for the long term health of the game in the months and years ahead, but for now, players are having an absolute blast putting Sojourn to the test.
