Overwatch 2's first new hero, Sojourn, finally has a trailer detailing her ability kit, which showcases her aggressive and agile playstyle. We've also seen a bit more of her backstory via Sojourn's origin trailer, which hints at how she connects to the overall narrative. And according to Blizzard, the introduction of Sojourn moves Overwatch's story forward.

Overwatch 2 art director Dion Rogers told The Verge, "When we started making this game, we made a pretty detailed history and lore for the world of the game. It helps us create [character] designs. The initial group of Overwatch that Sojourn was a part of, was a history that was before the game started."

Rogers continued: "We created this timeline, and we wanted Sojourn--especially since she's the first Black female character of the game--to not just be a random addition to the game. She had a deep lore connection to the game world. She moves the storyline forward when she's introduced."
