Overwatch 2 will see a focus on more support heroes in the coming seasons, and according to director Aaron Keller, the next two Overwatch heroes are going to be Supports.
Keller revealed the roles of the two upcoming heroes in an interview with NME. According to him, they “bring some things to the game that we haven’t seen before – some new mechanics and really exciting ways of interacting with your own team.”
It’s worth noting that this actually isn’t the first time we’ve learned of Overwatch 2’s goal of adding more support heroes into the game. A recent tweet from Lead Hero Designer Alec Dawson mentioned that for the foreseeable future, “every four heroes you’ll see 1 Tank, 1 DPS, and 2 Supports.”
With the next two heroes being confirmed to be Supports, it will be interesting to see how the competitive meta evolves as the Overwatch World Cup returns later this year. Hopefully, the future roster additions will affect the game as positively as Keller envisions.
