BlizzCon 2023 is less than 30 minutes away, but Overwatch 2 fans won't have to wait to get a glimpse of the next hero coming to the shooter. Fans over at the /r/Overwatch/ (http://reddit.com/r/Overwatch/) reddit noticed an ad on the Nintendo Switch News tab (https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/17mst7u/first_look_at_mauga_i_think_from_the_nintendo/) indicating the upcoming hero, Mauga, will be available for a free trial weekend.

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.
