If you're keen to get a sneak peek at Overwatch 2's next hero, you've come to the right place.
Overwatch 2 launched just one month ago, adding plenty of new content as well as fresh faces in the form of Sojourn, Junker Queen, and Kiriko to its rejigged first-person shooter. Hot on the heels of the game's release, Blizzard is preparing to add another new hero to Overwatch 2's already sizable roster, and better still, we'll get our first glimpse of them later today.

The tweet didn't specify exactly when the new hero would be unveiled, nor did it give any hints as to who they might be, so it seems we'll just have to wait until the contest gets underway to find out more. According to a blog post, Blizzard will be adding a new hero every alternate season, as well as in both Season One and Two, so we can expect the next character to be included as part of Overwatch 2's second season, which kicks off on December 6.
In other Overwatch 2 news, Mei has been temporarily removed from the game after it was discovered her Ice Wall ability allowed players to reach "unintended locations". Don't worry if you a fan of the sturdy scientist, as Mei will be returning as a playable character on November 15.
