Overwatch 2's new tank leaks ahead of BlizzCon 2023, and the game's 39th hero has some heavenly dual-chainguns

gamesradar.com:

It looks like Overwatch 2’s next hero is properly coming to the game next month and you can try them out this weekend to mark BlizzCon 2023.

Blizzard hasn’t officially revealed the game’s next hero - a buff tank called Mauga - but a leaked post on the Nintendo Switch eShop news channel accidentally dug deep into the upcoming character, his pet chainguns, and his abilities that sound ideal for dive compositions. (Good spot, Polygon.)

Mauga is reportedly a “powerful brawling Tank Hero who will tear through the competition with his incendiary and volatile chainguns.” Blizzard says the dual-wielding hero is designed to “bash through the front lines” and engage foes in “close-quarter combat.”

That’s probably a good tactic to take out a couple of vulnerable supports, but thankfully, the hero also has some self-sustainability while behind enemy lines. One of his guns, cutely called “Cha-Cha,” can deal critical hits, which then grants him some temporary health through a passive ability called Berserker. The other gun, “Gunny,” deals incendiary damage and can cause enemies to burn once they’ve taken enough damage.

To break through the front lines (and potentially break out once things get rough), Mauga has access to Overrun, “a charging ability that cannot be stopped by any crowd control abilities.” That means that Ana’s Sleep Dart and such similar moves will be null. His Cardiac Overdrive ability also reduces incoming damage for himself and nearby allies, which also sounds invaluable when diving. 

Finally, his ultimate ability, Cage Fight, will lock enemies in a “cylindrical fighting ring” bordered up by a barrier that blocks damage and healing from the outside. I can already imagine the Mauga versus Zenyatta memes that’ll come
