Overwatch has now been fully rebranded, and Overwatch 2 is no more, and Blizzard is essentially resetting the clock on the game's life cycle.
New in Season 1 is the DPS hero, Anran, the sister of Wuyang, and there has been some discussion about her design and Blizzard has now officially announced some changes.

Blizzard releasing five new heroes at the onset of Season 1 was something that no one expected, but here we are.

Executive Director, Aaron Keller also noted the following:
