Overwatch 2 will arrive on October 4, 2022, marking a new chapter in the franchise's universe. It's a sequel to the first title, which was released back in 2016 and won multiple awards, including Game of the Year.
Overwatch 2 will feature not only the already established 30+ unique and diverse cast of characters but also new heroes throughout the game's development.
While most heroes are getting major upgrades to their in-game design, some particular characters are receiving massive rework in the upcoming sequel. One name that stands out the most is none other than the leader of Talon, Doomfist.
Teased way back in Overwatch's cinematic trailer, Doomfist was released on July of 2017, and was soon feared to be an unstoppable force in close-combat situations. His official description states the following:
Equipped with a hand canon, Doomfist uses his legendary gauntlet to deal massive amounts of damage through combos, able to eliminate enemies single-handedly.
With Overwatch 2, he has been reworked to fit the Tank role, leaning towards a more defensive playstyle. Doomfist can perform the following attacks in Overwatch 2:
Doomfist shoots short-range projectiles from his left fist's knuckles. These are released in short-range bursts similar to shotgun pellets, and the ammo count is limited to four, with the magazine regenerating over time.
Doomfist leaps forward at a considerable distance and smashes the ground, stunning enemies and dealing damage. The ability recharges after six seconds and is useful for area control against multiple enemies.
A new ability added in Overwatch 2, Doomfist uses his gauntlet to block incoming projectiles with reduced movement speed. This ability also enables him to charge up his Rocket Punch ability.
