@Okami13_Overwatch's newest hero is a Support named Doctrine. A vampire that can launch drones to heal allies or deal damage. Playable this weekend as a Free Trial before full launch in S5. Been really enjoying the game this year, reminds me of the old days. New hero looks crazy too!
@GameSpotWe went hands on with the new #Overwatch hero Doctrine at Blizzcon 2026. Doctrine will be available via a limited hero trial until September 15 and then joins the game permanently when season 5 releases on October 6 🦇
