Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch 2 saw its biggest update yet with Season 15’s Perks, and Season 16 is keeping the momentum rolling with a new hero. Freja is a former search and rescue specialist turned bounty hunter who runs afoul of Maximilien. Though they reconcile their differences, the latter assigns her the task of hunting down a familiar (yet unnamed) target.
The animated trailer showcases several of Freja’s abilities, from her crossbow and timed explosive projectile to the ability to glide. She can also unleash a bolas, which doubles up as a vortex, snaring any nearby targets (and seemingly detonating). Thankfully, players won’t have to wait to try her out as a limited-time test has been announced for March 21st to 24th.
Season 16 lacks a release date, so stay tuned for more details, including other new content and upcoming cosmetics. Overwatch 2 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
