X user and Overwatch account @OverwatchNaeri shared a new trailer that was posted to the Chinese Overwatch 2 channel. The animated trailer mainly focuses on Wuyang, who players already know will fully join in the game on August 26th. However, another character features prominently in the trailer alongside Wuyang, so we might have just seen our next new character to be revealed after Wuyang – his sister, Anran.
New Animated Overwatch 2 Trailer Could Reveal Next New Hero
Though the trailer opens with the now-familiar face of Wuyang, a second hero soon appears. Wuyang’s sister, Anran, features heavily in the trailer as well. In the end of the video, she seemingly decides to join Overwatch alongside her brother. This suggests that Anran may well be another new character following Wuyang’s arrival at the start of Overwatch 2 Season 18 on August 26th.
Whereas Wuyang is heavily associated with the element of water, his sister Anran looks to be a fire-based fighter. The pair is giving off serious Avatar: The Last Airbender vibes, and fans are here for it. The trailer is in Chinese, but the trailer’s official debut is slated for Gamescom. So, it’s possible that version will be in English when it is officially revealed at the conference in Cologne.
As of now, Overwatch 2 has not officially confirmed Anran as a new playable hero. It’s also unclear when she could be added, if bringing Anran into the game is indeed what’s being hinted at here. New heroes aren’t added to Overwatch 2 as frequently as in many other hero fighters. Typically, the release schedule sees one new hero every other season. So, with Wuyang slotted for Season 18, it could be a while until his sister debuts in the game.
