Overwatch 2 Characters Guide
If you have questions like who are the new heroes in Overwatch 2, who is Junker Queen, or which familiar heroes we will see again, you are in the right article. Let’s get started with the Overwatch 2 Heroes Guide.
All Confirmed Characters in Overwatch 2
Junker Queen
Overwatch players will know her name from the lore, but this is the first opportunity we've had to meet her. Coming from Junkertown, Junker Queen is the ruler of an abandoned robot factory in Australia's Outback. She transformed the remains into a Mad Max-like arena where fighters combat for survival. She is armed with a shotgun and a large battle knife for close encounters.
We now know that Junker Queen has magnetic abilities and she can also throw a knife into an enemy, and it will be recalled to pull the enemy towards Junker Queen so that she can combine into a close-range blast using her gun or into hazards. Her ulti lets her summon three rotating battle axes to her gauntlet and propel her forward in a cyclone.
Sojourn
Sojourn was the first character that was revealed for Overwatch 2. This announcement came alongside the official game launch back in 2019.
Sojourn was an Overwatch captain who joined in the Golden Age. She's from Canada and has had cybernetic brain implants. The primary weapon of
She appears to be an energy-based gun that can fire in two modes. The first is an easy-to-use automatic weapon. The second, however, turns it into a concentrated beam that can be charged to inflict more damage.
In addition to these brand-new characters, every single character from the first game will be with us in the sequel. Some may be slightly different, while others will get some visual and gameplay updates or both. Here's a list of all returning characters you can play in Overwatch 2…
Tanks
These characters are designed to absorb massive damage and cause disruptions to the enemy's position. Your team must capture a point. Tanks shine by drawing aggro and blocking damage. DPS characters can pick off the enemy when they are not able to. We have eight returning tanks heading to Overwatch 2.
