More support is always a good thing.
Overseer 2 has seen a huge influx of players since its big launch last month. Part of its growing player base is obviously due to the hero shooter's embrace of the popular free-to-play model. However, it's hard to argue that Surveillance's main draw has always been its rich cast of playable characters.
That said, since Overseer 2 launched, those who previously enjoyed playing support roles have found their options a bit slim in the field. Currently, there are only eight playable support characters available in Overseer 2, which has left some players a little unhappy, especially given the game's new revamped 5v5 play model. point to improve for these players.
According to a new report, there will be a new support character heading into battle after the introduction of the previously revealed new tank character, Ramattra. As Hero 36, Ramattra was unveiled recently during Overwatch The League's Grand Finals, where it was also confirmed that the new tank would join the roster in early December. This will coincide with the start of the game's second season on December 6. However, speaking at a Overseer 2 meet and greet session in Korea held today, Blizzard VP and Oversight Business Manager Jon Spector shared some details about Hero 37. , who will apparently be a new supporting character.
As reported in Inven and spotted by Overwatch Cavalry, Spector explains that the team has taken a long time to develop their heroes, with a particular focus at the moment on upcoming tank character Ramattra. However, he goes on to state that “Ramattra is a loadout hero in Season 2, and the next hero will be a stronger support hero.” It's believed that players can expect to see this as-yet-unannounced supporting character enter Overseer 2 at some point in April next year, which should coincide with the game's fourth season. Indeed, he is widely expected that season three will introduce a new map as opposed to a new hero. However, no specific date has been provided, so it will just be a matter of waiting for official confirmation from Blizzard.
Either way, the addition of new heroes in Overseer 2 can only be seen as a good thing. This is especially true for those who enjoy playing support heroes and would like to see a bit more variation in the options currently available. There are only a few weeks left of Overseer 2's first season, after which players can expect to see things change a bit with a new tank and potentially new game modes.
Overseer 2 is available now on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
