Blizzard has officially revealed Overwatch‘s latest hero, Shion, in a new cinematic trailer. Hero 52 Shion is a new Damage hero set to join the Overwatch roster with the launch of Reign of Talon Season 3 on June 16, 2026. She is a humanoid omnic character affiliated with the Hashimoto clan and aligned with Talon in their conquest against Overwatch.
Hero 52 Shion Officially Confirmed for Overwatch Reign of Talon Season 3
Shion debuted in the new cinematic trailer “End of the Line” where she aids the Hashimoto clan in preventing Overwatch’s Sojourn from acquiring weapons bound for Talon’s leader, Vendetta. While no gameplay has been shared for Shion yet, this trailer suggests she will dual-wield pistols and have some type of mobility skill, given her status as a fast Damage hero. The weapon teased at the end of her trailer could be used for her Ultimate, but it’s also possible that the motorcycle Shion rides throughout the trailer could be incorporated into her kit as well.
