Overwatch will drop the '2' as Jetpack Cat and four other heroes arrive on February 10

Blizzard has given up the "2" in Overwatch, and it's about time.

The battle for Blizzard's flagship game is done. No more confusing title. The focus shifts to new heroes, modes, and an immersive narrative arc called The Reign of Talon, marking a new story-driven era for Overwatch. A year-long tale of heroism and villainy begins February 10, as the world becomes embroiled in the struggle between good and evil.

A fresh wave of heroes is about to hit the scene, each with their own identity and role within the team. Among them are five heroes ready to join the fray next week: Jetpack Cat, a support hero with flight capabilities; Domina, a zone-control tank with precision range attacks; Emre, a high-mobility damage dealer; Mizuki, a healer who can toss hats at her allies; and Anran, a mysterious fire-wielding hero with an ultimate that lets him resurrect himself.

Jetpack Cat is the first hero we've heard about since 2017. She's got it all – flight, healing, and a cool cat attitude. Biotic Pawjectiles are her primary weapon, which look like a mix of rockets and... well, more rockets. Her Catnapper ultimate ability lets her dive into the ground to take down enemies while tethering them with an invisible line.

The new heroes come with their own lore and roles within Overwatch's universe. Domina is part of the Talon organization, while Emre has cybernetic modifications that make him a bit of an enigma. Mizuki can throw hats at her friends to heal them, because why not? Anran, on the other hand, deals fire damage and comes back from the dead with his ultimate.

The Reign of Talon will be the central narrative thread for Overwatch's upcoming story arc. Expect heroes to emerge, fall in battle, and make sacrifices as they fight against Talon's nefarious plans. The entire world of Overwatch is about to become a battleground, and it's anyone's game.

But that's not all – Blizzard has made some changes to the game itself. New menus, a hero lobby, a notification hub, and faster navigation are all on their way. Stadium mode will get some updates too, with refreshed ability icons and recommended builds based on global data that'll be updated between rounds.

A new collaboration with Hello Kitty is coming for two weeks starting February 10, bringing themed cosmetics to several heroes. More cosmetics are in the works, including some exclusive items from past seasons being dropped into loot boxes. Mythic skins for Mercy, Juno, and Mei will make their way into Season 1.

If you thought the game couldn't get any more exciting, think again. Blizzard's also working on a Nintendo Switch version of Overwatch that'll hit alongside Season 2 in April. That means new heroes, maps, and features to look forward to. We can't wait to dive back in and play with our friends again.

There you have it – the world of Overwatch is about to get bigger, bolder, and more beautiful than ever.

I'm super hyped for the new heroes dropping next week! 🤩 Jetpack Cat sounds like a total game-changer with those biotic projectiles and her ultimate ability. I love how Blizzard's giving us a fresh wave of heroes to play around with - it feels like Overwatch is getting a whole new lease on life. And can we talk about the lore behind these new heroes? Domina being part of Talon is so intriguing, while Emre's cybernetic modifications have me curious about his backstory. The Reign of Talon story arc is shaping up to be epic! 🌟
 
omg another update on overwatch lol whats next blizzard? we thought we were done with all this but nope they're just getting started 🤯 5 new heroes in one week thats crazy. jetpack cat sounds cool i guess but dominas zone control tank thing is kinda weird. anran resurrecting himself is straight outta video game lol what's next a revive mechanic for dead players? and now stadium mode gets updates too can we get some serious balance changes on the roster too? Blizzard's killing it 💀
 
I'm glad they finally ditched the whole "Overwatch 2" thing lol 🤣 It was getting super confusing. But for real though, I love that we're getting a new hero every week starting Feb 10th! Jetpack Cat sounds adorable, and Domina's zone control tank seems super useful. The lore around Talon is already getting me hyped - it's gonna be so interesting to see how everything unfolds 🤔 Can't wait for the new season and all the goodies that come with it, including those cute Hello Kitty cosmetics 👀
 
OMG, finally! 🤩 No more "Overwatch 2" - just "Overwatch", yaaas 💁‍♀️. New heroes comin' Feb 10, can't wait for the story arc to kick off 📚. More cosmetics & a Switch version? Blizzard's on fire 🔥!
 
I'm stoked 🤩 about the new heroes coming to Overwatch! I've been waiting for a fresh wave since Reaper's release 😈. The addition of Jetpack Cat sounds purr-fectly awesome 🐱, with her flight capabilities and healing powers. Can't wait to see Domina's zone-control tank skills in action 🚀.

I'm a bit concerned about the Nintendo Switch version, though... how will it compare to PC? Fingers crossed they don't sacrifice anything that makes Overwatch special 🤞. And what about the new storyline? I love how it sounds epic and story-driven 📚.

Here's a quick diagram of my thoughts on the new heroes:
