Overwatch 2 will soon release its Season 4 with lots of new exciting content alongside a new hero. Let’s see what we can expect from the new season.
Blizzard released Overwatch 2 as a full-fledged FPS title on October 4, 2022. Months have passed since the game was released, and the developers are polishing the game with every new update. Apart from new skins, maps, and events, the game also brings new heroes to the game to spice up the meta and keep the game fresh and exciting.
Overwatch 2’s Season 3 had a pretty huge update. A new map named Antartic Peninsula was introduced, and Credits were brought back to life. However, Blizzard is not taking a single step back with Season 4. With all the trailers and teasers, it looks like they have big plans and content waiting for the upcoming season.

New Support Hero: Lifeweaver
Overwatch 2 will have its 5th new Hero in Season 4. The new Hero is known as Lifeweaver and originated from Thailand. According to Blizzard’s official Lifeweaver description:
“Lifeweaver is characterized by his love and respect for nature as well as his advanced biolight technology. This groundbreaking technology is woven throughout his abilities, and it plays a pivotal role in the healing and utility aspects of his kit.”
Like all other Heros in Overwatch, Lifeweaver will also have many special and unique abilities. And, a few days before the official launch, Blizzard has already revealed Lifeweaver’s abilities.
Here are the Lifeweaver’s abilities:
Healing Blossom
Healing Blossom is Lifeweaver’s first primary fire. With this weapon, he charges a luminescent flower and sends it to his allies. The longer he charges the blossom, the more healing it provides.
Thorn Volley
His alternate primary fire is called Thorn Volley. With this weapon, he fires biolight thorns at enemies in a scattered pattern. While mainly intended as a form of defense, Lifeweaver can deal a decent amount of damage with Thorn Volley as well.
Petal Platform and Rejuvenating Dash
Petal Platform is Lifeweaver’s secondary-fire ability. He throws a pod that blooms into a flower-like platform upon landing. Whether ally or enemy, anyone stepping on the platform causes it to elevate, and it will remain airborne for a certain amount of time.
Anyone using the platform can launch themselves high into the air by timing a jump right as the platform reaches maximum height. It won’t quite be as tall as Baptiste’s Exo Boots, but enemies and allies alike can use the platform for a well-timed thrust into the air!
Life Grip
Life Grip envelops an ally in protective biolight and pulls them to Lifeweaver’s position. While an ally is within Life Grip, they are invulnerable to all damage. You can’t disrupt an utling ally with Life Grip!
Tree of Life
For his ultimate ability, Lifeweaver places a large biolight tree that pulses with healing energy. This tree provides cover for your team, meaning you can’t shoot, be shot, or pass through it.
