Since Blizzard announced at the Xbox and Bethesda Show that "Overwatch: Return" will be officially launched on October 5, many fans have been eager to get new news about the game. As it turns out, fans' patience has finally paid off. Recently, Geoff Goodman, the lead hero designer of " Overwatch ", was interviewed and discussed the design concept of potential new heroes in the sequel.

While he didn't reveal specific new heroes that will be released later, he mentioned that the development team hopes to make more "mercy" type support characters. He said that according to the plan, "Overwatch: Return" will add a new character every other season.

According to Goodman, the development team believes the game needs more healing roles to allow players to choose between targeting enemies and healing teammates. He cited "Mercy" as an example. The development team did not agree that she was a low-operation hero. They believe that, unlike other MOBA games, the auxiliary role in Overwatch requires players to practice a lot in order to play its true role.

Ana, Zenyatta , and Baptiste all have gameplay elements focused on precision targeting, and adding more Mercy-like healing characters will help allow players to contribute to their team in more creative ways. Contribute more than just aim. Therefore, they will use the design of angel as the core to create more auxiliary characters.

A third new character is coming to Overwatch: Homecoming, according to the developer. I believe that many players already know a lot about "Junker Queen" and "Thorjayn", but the third character has not yet been confirmed. So far, players generally believe that the blue fox that appeared in the Xbox show trailer is the "Fox Girl" pet that was leaked last year. Of course, time will tell if this new, yet-to-be-confirmed character is one of the new "Angel"-style characters Goodman is talking about.

Overwatch 2 is scheduled to release on October 5th for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
