Blizzard Entertainment has announced a new playable character that will be added to Overwatch 2 in a little more than a month from now. The announcement was made at BlizzCon 2023. The new hero goes by the name Mauga and has the appearance of an upbeat yet malevolent force of nature. Watch the clip for more information and to see him in action!
Mauga will be a Tank hero; he will have two chain guns that he has dubbed Cha-Cha and Gunny, and he will be added to the game on December 5, accompanying the introduction of Season 8 on the same day. Before that, however, gamers will also get the opportunity to put him through his paces as part of a sneak peek at Season 8 throughout the course of the weekend and up to November 5 of this year.
In addition to the release of Season 8 and the introduction of Mauga, Blizzard Entertainment has disclosed its plans for additional Overwatch 2 content to be released in 2024. These plans include the introduction of a new map, a new game mode, two new characters, and a variety of other features.
Overwatch 2 may be played on the PlayStation 5, Xbox One Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and personal computers.
