Let's take a look at her moves in the image below. She's Kiriko, who brings teleportation abilities, kunai, and an adorable spirit fox into battle. The third was revealed on Thursday morning at this year's Tokyo Game Show. We've met two of those heroes already: Sojourn and Junker Queen. Early Thursday morning, the publisher outlined what to expect from the game's opening weeks, while also unveiling new hero Kiriko.Īs revealed on the Overwatch website, Overwatch 2's Season 1 roadmap will feature a variety of major additions, including a new game mode, six new maps, and three new playable heroes. Whether it arrives in early access or not depends on who you ask or seemingly what day it is, but regardless of the answer, Blizzard has a full Battle Pass ready to roll out for the game's opening season. Witnessing years of the Hashimotos’ injustice, Kiriko vowed to restore peace to her town.There's less than a month to go before Overwatch 2 arrives. From Tokyo, Toshiro supported Kiriko’s feelings and fed intel to Asa through handwritten letters.

But by the time beloved grandmother passed away, Kiriko had caught on to her parents’ predicament, and to the spreading pain the Hashimoto were inflicting on Kanezaka. Under her grandmother’s care, Kiriko forged a close and lasting connection to the fox spirit, serving as a shrine maiden. To protect her daughter, she sent Kiriko to her grandmother and changed her family name to Kamori-Asa’s given name. Alone and with her hands tied, Asa was unable to fight back.

The Hashimoto recognized the potential threat posed by Kiriko’s family and acted quickly, kidnapping Kiriko’s father and forcing him to supply weapons for their clan. As rumors raged in Hanamura and Kanezaka regarding the supposed demise of Genji and flight of Hanzo, the Hashimoto took over. When she was twelve years old, the head of the clan, Sojiro Shimada, was assassinated by the rival Hashimoto clan.
