Exploring the New Hero
Similar to past introductions such as Wuyang, the upcoming trailer is expected to provide fans with a deeper look at the hero’s in-game model, voice lines, and gameplay mechanics. The character has been teased in various ways throughout the year, first appearing in the Overwatch 2 Spotlight in February, with further hints like her sword displayed in Arena Victoria and her presence in the Reconciliation Ramattra comic. A rare ‘Lupa mask’ even made an appearance in the Haunted Masquerade Halloween event. Although her exact release date is still under wraps, enthusiasts anticipate her arrival in Season 20. Game Director Aaron Keller has hinted at a new feature for high-skilled players and a unique Stadium map for the upcoming season.
The OWCS
The trailer’s release comes at a pivotal time during the Overwatch Champions Series (OWCS). Following an intense Stage 3, the focus now shifts to the OWCS 2025 World Finals at DreamHack Stockholm. The top 12 teams from regions including the Americas, EMEA, and Asia are set to compete from November 26th to 20th, aiming to secure the championship title.
