New Overwatch 2 Hero “Liveweaver” Revealed as Flower-Themed Support Hero; More Details to Follow Tomorrow

Overwatch 2 Update 1.000.014

Overwatch 2’s getting a new Support hero added to the game’s roster soon. A recent announcement has revealed that the next Overwatch 2 hero is Lifeweaver, a Support hero that seems to use flowers as part of their abilities.

Here’s the official tease via the Overwatch Twitter account:

While we don’t know precisely what Lifeweaver’s abilities are, the tweet mentions that we’ll learn more about this hero “tomorrow,” so expect a trailer or something similar within the next 24 hours. Based on the hero’s design, Lifeweaver is likely a ranged Support hero like many of the other heroes in the role. The petals behind Lifeweaver’s back may also serve a more practical purpose than just decoration.

Lifeweaver is the first of many Support heroes coming to Overwatch 2 in the foreseeable future. As mentioned by a dev last January, Overwatch 2 will be introducing more Support heroes for a while, with a ratio of two Support heroes for every one DPS and one Tank hero. The next Support hero after Lifeweaver will also be a Support hero, so Tank and DPS players will have to wait a little bit longer before they’re able to try out something new from the game’s roster.

Once we learn more about Lifeweaver, we’ll be sure to keep you informed.
