Overwatch Reign of Talon is about to enter Season 2, meaning a new batch of content is coming. Some of the upcoming additions were already teased or revealed earlier this year during the Overwatch Spotlight event.

While we wait for more official reveals, like the trailer for Hero 51, we have prepared a summary with all the information on the new season.

When Does Overwatch Reign of Talon Season 2 Start?

Overwatch Reign of Talon Season 2 is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, April 14. A new update will go live at 11:00 AM PT (7:00 PM BST) on all platforms to add the new content.

The season should last between 8 and 9 weeks, with a major mid-season patch arriving in the middle to add the content for the second half.

Hero 51

Just as announced at the start of the year, a new hero is set to arrive in the game with Season 2. Her appearance was already revealed through this year's lineup art of all the heroes that will arrive throughout the year, with the unannounced characters blacked out for now.

Thanks to previous comments from Alec Dawson, the game's Associate Director, we know she will be a DPS "with a satisfying kill shot."

Of course, we will have to wait until her official reveal to know what he meant by that. The hero's trailer is set to go live on Wednesday, April 8.

Confirmed Additions

The roadmap for this year's content revealed that the following additions are coming with Season 2:
