The latest character to join the Overwatch 2 roster is Kiriko, a new support hero. Accompanied by her spirit fox companion, she aims to keep her allies healed and buffed in the thick of battle.

She joins a variety of incredible vocal talent already on the roster, including famed personalities like Matthew Mercer and Charlet Chung.
