As for Lifeweaver’s ultimate ability, he plants a time-limited tree that not only breaks nearby lines of sight but also acts as a HOT (healing over time) totem.īlizzard promises Lifeweaver is only the beginning of Season 4 offerings (and that Overwatch 2’s next hero will be another Support character who will premiere in Season 6). Lifeweaver can also toss down a flower that springs anyone who steps on it into the air, pull allies away from danger and give them a shielding bubble while doing so, and dash in any direction with a self-heal. He is a Support hero (obviously), and his main weapon can switch between a flower that can heal allies when charged and a thorn-spewing SMG. Since Lifeweaver is Season 4’s new hero, he is figuratively and literally the face of the update.

Just open your client, select Overwatch 2, and click on the “Download Pre-release Content” button, which should be on the bottom-left corner of the app. Sadly, that feature is only available for the PC version of the game. Regardless of your internet speeds, you might want to start pre-downloading the update to start playing on the dot. However, the update will require a beefy 38 additional GB of space, which, for context, is more than vanilla Overwatch 2 required when it launched. Overwatch’s Season 4 blog post states Overwatch 2: Season 4 will be released at 11 am PDT/2 pm EST on April 11th.
