Overview
- Sierra, revealed Wednesday in a cinematic trailer, joins the roster with Season 2 on April 14, the same day a native Nintendo Switch 2 version launches.
- The video shows a plasma rifle, a tracker dart that pulls her shots onto tagged targets and later detonates, and a tether to her drone, DoROTHy, for fast movement.
- The story setup places Sierra against the Deadlock Gang, countering fan expectations that the long-teased Hero 51 would be Frankie from the Overwatch novels.
- Reporters note the tracker’s apparent auto-aim could frustrate ranked players, though how it is tuned will only be clear once gameplay and patch notes arrive at launch.
- Blizzard says Sierra continues its 2026 plan to add 10 heroes tied to a Talon-focused arc, following the game’s relaunch earlier this year.
