The beefy hero Mauga wields dual chainguns to shred his enemies. Mauga will join Overwatch 2 as part of Season 8 which releases on December 5.

Chances are Blizzcon will officially announce Mauga when BlizzCon 2023 kicks off, and it appears the hero will be playable via a trial weekend ahead of his release.

UPDATE: As expect, Mauga has been confirmed as the new hero at BlizzCon 2023. Mauga will dualwield chainguns he named Gunny and Cha-Cha, as he mows through front-lines. Abilities appear to be:

  • Incendiary Chaingun — Ignites enemies.
  • Volatile Chaingun — Crits burning enemies.
  • Overrun — Unstoppable charge.
  • Cardiac Overdrive — Damages enemies while Mauga gains life.
  • Cage Fight — Infinite ammunition

As previously mentioned, Mauga will indeed release in Overwatch 2 on all platforms on December 5.
