Blizzard Entertainment has released an Origin Story trailer for Sojourn. Sojourn is currently the only confirmed new character coming to Overwatch 2, having first been revealed at Blizzcon 2019. Despite appearing over two years ago, fans still know very little about her. This is especially true in regards to her lore and background.
The new Origin Story looks to change that, with Blizzard finally providing insight into who exactly Sojourn is. Her real name is Vivian Chase and she was the acting captain of the Overwatch organization. Prior to her position in Overwatch, Chase was a high ranking commander in the Canadian special forces. It was during this role that she first teamed up with Jack Morrison, better known as Soldier: 76. Her impressive performances in the Canadian special forces convinced Morrison to invite her to Overwatch.
