Overwatch 2 is exciting for several reasons, with new multiplayer maps and heroes being some of the most anticipated additions. A recent post by anOverwatch 2 fan highlights both aspects of the game, with players wondering if they have found a new hero.

Thus far, the only new hero for Overwatch 2 that has been confirmed is Sojourn, with players having a good idea of how the character will play in the sequel.
