Overwatch 2's new tank hero Hazard, who was teased in the trailer for Season 13, will be available to play for everyone one day only this Friday before he gets added permanently in Season 14, which is only 21 days away. All we have to go off of right now is a short hero trailer, but it actually contains loads of information if you read between the lines.

Moira—who is a support hero—is something of an evil genius, experimenting with genetic engineering in order to rewrite the basic building blocks of life.

She's also known to be an amoral scientist who is only interested in furthering her research, so I wouldn't be surprised if she had been keeping some human guinea pigs on the side. But even if the Phreaks weren't directly impacted by Moira, it's clear that they have some vested interest in her research.
Alongside his team, Hazard breaks in and collects Moira's experiment, the goop orb, into a test tube. After armed guards surround them, Hazard decides to put
