Overwatch 2's next hero is Mauga, a dual gatling gun-wielding tank who hails from Samoa. Though the hero will become the game's 39th playable character starting with Season 8, players will be able to take the hero for a test spin during a free trial this weekend.Mauga's reveal came a little earlier than expected, leaking ahead of BlizzCon 2023's opening ceremony via a post on the Nintendo Switch eShop news channel (via Reddit) before then being confirmed at the event. The character will be playable for free from November 3-5 as part of a Season 8 sneak peek, going live after the conclusion of the opening ceremony. He will be available in all modes aside from Competitive, and the No Limits Arcade mode will be available so multiple players per team can test out Mauga at once.Wielding two massive chainguns, Mauga is designed for getting up close and personal with enemies.

That pairs well with Mauga's passive ability, Berserker, which grants him temporary health when dealing critical damage.Continue Reading at GameSpot...
