Summary
June 16 will bring Shion into Overwatch as a new damage hero, with Blizzard releasing a gameplay trailer ahead of Season 3's start.
Shion's kit centers on mobility and burst damage: dual pistols, a stronger focused shot, a dash, a rideable motorcycle and an attack that hurls the bike at enemies.
Her ultimate turns her into a damaging vortex that can dash toward opponents, giving the hero an aggressive playstyle that the trailer suggests is closer to Tracer than Reaper.
Shion is also positioned in the game's expanding story as a Hashimoto clan boss, setting up new lore around Kiriko, Mizuki and Talon's broader conflict under Vendetta.
