Blizzard Entertainment is set to reveal the 45th Overwatch 2 hero on November 17, 2025, at 9:00 AM PT / 9:00 PM PKT. Fans can catch the first look via a YouTube premiere. The trailer promises to show the hero’s in-game model, voice lines, gameplay, and more.
Developers have teased the upcoming hero since February, when she first appeared in the background of the Overwatch 2 Spotlight. Fans can revisit that teaser here.
The gladiator hero will bring a melee-focused gameplay style. Teasers highlight her high mobility and attack power, especially with the Lupa Mask arcade feature. Fans eagerly await her integration into the Overwatch 2 roster and esports competitions.
Throughout 2025, Blizzard dropped several hints:
Arena Victoria Teaser: The hero’s sword appeared along with her silhouette and the Roman numerals XLV.

While her official release date hasn’t been confirmed, fans expect her to debut in Season 20. Game Director Aaron Keller mentioned that Season 20 will also include a new feature for the highest-skilled players and a Stadium map in a unique location.
