Shion is scheduled to arrive in Overwatch on Tuesday, June 16, when Reign of Talon Season starts. An update will go live at 11:00 AM PT (7:00 PM BST) to add all the new content for the season.

Shion Trailers

The reveal trailer for Shion, which you can see below, is a short with an anime-style animation, where we see Sojourn trying to bust a shipment from the Hashimoto clan until she is interrupted by the new character.

The gameplay trailer was also released, and this gives us a better look at her abilities in-game:

Shion's Role and Nationality

Although it hasn't been confirmed, we suspect Shion's nationality is Japanese, as that is where she and the Hashimoto clan operate. In terms of her role, she is part of the Damage category, becoming the 26th character in this role.
