The hero roster, as of Overwatch' s fourth anniversary
There are 34 playable heroes in Overwatch . Each hero offers a unique style of play, and is classified under one of three roles : Tank, Damage, or Support. Each team can only have 2 of each hero, although some Arcade game modes allow multiple. Players can switch heroes in the spawn room.
Heroes come from a variety of national/ethnic backgrounds, and occasionally speak in their native languages during matches. [1]
Heroes are controlled using a controller. Every hero has a unique weapon . Some heroes have multiple weapons, which can be switched using 1 and 2. Abilities are normally keyed to Shift, E, and Q (the ultimate ability ). Heroes have 150 to 700 HP and move at a base speed of 5.5 m/s (except Genji and Tracer , whose base speed is 6 m/s). Walking backwards reduces this speed by 10%. Crouching makes their speed 3 m/s (in every direction). Also, all heroes can jump at a height of 0.98 m.
Heroes exchange specific dialogue with each other based on their character history during matches and background. [1]
Heroes will be added over time post-launch as free updates. [2] Jeff Kaplan has not ruled out removing heroes from the roster in the future. [3]
The idea of classes for heroes was to make it easier for new players to get into the game, and to easily understand how each character would play. [4] When the Looking for Group feature was added, it became possible to enforce these roles.
There were originally 21 heroes at the launch of the game. Since then, 13 additional heroes have been added. New heroes are released roughly every 4 months, typically in March, July, and November. The November reveal happens during the opening ceremony of BlizzCon .
However, with the announcement of Overwatch 2 , this tradition breaks. Multiple heroes are expected to released at once with the release of Overwatch 2 and "at least" 1 new hero was expected to release before then. [5] With the addition of Echo , the promise of "at least" 1 new hero has been fulfilled. It was later confirmed in an interview that Echo would be the final hero before the release of Overwatch 2. [6]
When a hero is pitched, a group of five developers examine the concept from the perspectives of gameplay, character concept and story to see if the idea is worth fleshing out. If that's in the affirmative and the concept is settled, the team of five becomes a team of ten to fifteen, who are tasked with "finding the fun" in the hero and bringing out its "core." This includes work on art, design, engineering, audio and quality assurance. Once this is completed, the hero gains (or will have gained) forty or more developers, which build its respective content (skins, emotes, voice lines, etc.) [8] For early heroes, it was common to theme the hero mainly around their weapon ( Widowmaker and Pharah are examples of this). [9]
After the hero is fully playable, a different group is brought in to build the hero's story; by this point around eighty developers. These individuals work on material such as origin videos, comics and animated shorts. After that, the hero then needs to be publicized. By this last stage, over 150 individuals will have worked on the hero in some form. [8]
The following heroes have been cut during development of the game:
An early heroes pitch—some heroes are in the final version
The Overwatch development team added a dummy string very early on containing the name of a fake hero: Dying Breed. This was done to identify if the game's files were datamined and uploaded to the internet. They forgot to remove the string when the beta was shipped, and it created some confusion among the team members who discovered it for the first time. [13] The string has long since been removed.

Gotham Knights will allow players to co-op as the same character – but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be doing the same things. Our latest IGN First drop shows gameplay of two versions of Red Hood with entirely different builds.In the video, above, you'll see game director Geoff Ellenor explaining that using the game's multiple skill trees will allow players to create a range of playstyles for their chosen superheroes. In this case, Red Hood has been specced in two ways, with a focus on his Marksman and Brawler skill trees respectively.
A Morty from the Rick and Morty series has arrived in MultiVersus. Check out the gameplay trailer to see a Morty in action in this free-to-play, platform fighter game.
Atomic Heart gets a fresh, brutal new trailer, showcasing combat and more from this upcoming first-person shooter game. Check it out to see various enemies meet their end. Atomic Heart is heading to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Game Pass, and PC.

Leave it to Blizzard to create not one, not two, but 27 heroes, villains, and scientists that have captured our imaginations, our rabid fan art, and all the goth/cowboy ships you always wanted through Overwatch .
As a certain cryogenically frozen scientist once said, “Our world is worth fighting for.” But she definitely never accounted for the fight for Overwatch lineup supremacy. Don’t think of this list as just which character is the best to play, but rather which character has made the most impact on the game, the surrounding culture , and just how darn awesome they are. Which one is the best Overwatch character? Find out below.
Playing with a Hanzo on your team is like hanging out at your local sports bar, only it’s full of howling teenagers and their fathers, one side proclaiming they’re the greatest linebacker in the state, and the other proclaiming they would have been if only they hadn’t stubbed their toe at the 10-yard line. While Blizzard certainly intended for the noble warrior to act as a fast-paced sniper, Hanzo’s role has become more about spamming corridors and hoping for a lucky shot, and recent changes have only reinforced that frustrating persona. Not even one of the best ultimate voice lines in the game can save this poor samurai.
Despite all the hype (and the quite literal impact he made at Numbani airport), Doomfist has failed to make much of a real impact on Overwatch . Even with a decent backstory—and his starring role in an animated short where he legitimately tears Tracer apart at the molecular level—Doomfist is another example of a good idea turned sour by player stupidity. We get it. You punch things, you second-rate Thanos .
Sombra is the coolest thing to happen to hacker culture since the hit 1995 film Hackers . We have to give her credit for the rad holographic keyboard that emits from her fingers, but it can’t save her from that criminally dumb alternate reality game that teased us for 60,000 years only to fall flat on its face. Boop, indeed.
Fun fact: Torbjorn was one of Blizzard’s first characters designed for Overwatch , drawing from the company’s history of stocky dwarf-like designs, and was placed within concept art to determine if a location felt like it could exist alongside the Swedish sourpuss. So not only is Torbjorn the father of Brigitte, he’s also kind of the dad of Overwatch . Take that, Jeff Kaplan. Unfortunately, Torbjorn’s machine-loving charm only stretches so far, leaving him about as high on the list as his actual height.
The somber Egyptian gets some points for being one half of the always wonderful “PharMercy” combo, plus a stellar design if you’re into mech suits, but Blizzard has done surprisingly little with Pharah as a character, and it shows. Pharah’s history with duty has always been a bit tortured. Her mother, Ana, was a founding member of Overwatch , and exposed her to a lot of the unit’s activities. We also got an unimpressive comic that shows her grow into a more caring commander. There’s already a ton to mine there for emotional payoff, but just like Pharah’s sky-high leaps, it seems like she’ll always be out of reach.
The trademark growls and evil cackling of Overwatch’s resident goth boy are performed by the same voice actor who gave us the pint-sized Bloo from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends , and now you can never get that out of your head. Reaper is alright in function, but a nightmare in fashion, and no one takes trench coats seriously anymore.
Sporting what may be Overwatch’s most tragic backstory (she was married to Overwatch agent Gerard Lacroix, then kidnapped by Talon, brainwashed, returned to safety, and two weeks later killed Gerard in his sleep, eventually returning to Talon), Widowmaker is the quintessential “love to hate her” sniper. There’s no shortage of videos featuring incredible grappling hook headshots , but leave it to casual players to ruin her viability. Widow’s brand of icy sexuality has also resulted in no shortage of cosplay, but it’s never felt like it’s come at the expense of her agency or dignity. In short, she can stomp on me any day.
The better half of the Shimada brothers (Hanzo, that is), Genji has quite simply been through a gosh darn ringer or two. Following a perilous duel with his brother, Genji lost roughly half his body, only to persevere through Overwatch medical technology and good ol’ ninja grit. Genji’s background might be the stuff of any dozens of ninja flicks, but you can’t deny how cool the guy looks in motion. With an ultimate move that can finish off entire teams in three swipes of his blade, Genji has cemented his legacy as one of Overwatch ‘s best characters and gaming’s best cyborg ninjas.
A key founder of Overwatch , a grizzled hardass, and the source of countless dad jokes, Soldier 76 is a solid pick for almost any team, offense or defense. That Blizzard has leaned so hard into the dad jokes (releasing a “Grillmaster 76” skin that evokes far too many sandals-and-socks nightmares of our own parents) keeps Soldier from just being a one-note Call of Duty clone. Also, don’t tell me you don’t pee a little when you hear “I’ve got you in my sights.”
While Bastion is a bit of a one-note character ( Wall-E came out in 2008, folks), he was also the first face of how Overwatch’s omnipresent threat, the Omnic robot army, wasn’t purely a force for evil. Through a stunning animated short, we see Bastion struggling with his understanding of the world around him and the beauty it holds, culminating in a horrifying display of barbaric warfare that shakes Overwatch’s innocent optimism to its core. When it seems like we’re tearing through enemy players as one Bastion robot, just imagine how terrifying an army of them are. That Bastion still stands as a goofy, curious creature is a testament to the power of simple storytelling.
OK, part of this is pure fanboyism for voice actor Matt Mercer (of Critical Role fame), but Jesse McCree is one-tenth function and nine-tenths personality. There’s no getting around the fact that a cowboy with “BAMF” on his belt buckle and a robotic arm is totally awesome. He’d be higher on our list of best Overwatch characters if it weren’t for his limited functionality. Riding on the coattails of tumbleweeds and Eastwood references only gets you so far.
While Brigitte is a wonderful Overwatch character in her own right, her shining achievement might be inadvertently confirming the existence of Jetpack Cat, a hero found in some of Overwatch’s earliest concept art. Brigitte’s work as a squire turned savior is nothing short of awesome, telling an all-too-familiar tale of a young woman stepping out from the shadows of her father Torbjorn and uncle Reinhardt to lead her own charge. Brigitte simply puts the “girl power” in “power armor.”
