Sierra Revealed as Overwatch’s 51st Hero, Arriving April 14

The cinematic teases a homing dart and drone‑tether movement that could reshape ranked play.

Overview

  • Sierra, revealed Wednesday in an animated trailer, will join the roster with Season 2 on April 14.
  • The trailer shows a full‑auto energy rifle, a drone called DoROTHy that she tethers to for quick movement, and a dart that locks on to a target and redirects her fire.
  • No in‑game footage or balance details are available yet, so final ability behavior and power will be confirmed after release.
  • Coverage notes that the pink dart appears to mark enemies and guide shots, a design some expect to be controversial in competitive matches.
  • Blizzard positions Sierra within a Talon‑focused story and a 2026 plan for 10 new heroes, as Season 2 also brings a native Switch 2 version following February’s relaunch that added five heroes.
