A new support hero named Kiriko is coming to Overwatch 2 and she looks formidable as a melee range fighter. The long-rumored support hero was accidentally previosly leaked by Blizzard in a game listing. Now we have a second leak for Kiriko courtesy of a cinematic video.
The leaked video was originally uploaded by Youtuber Kuriboh Cervantes and shows an unfinished cinematic movie for the new hero. The video looks to be authentic and you can tell that some aspects are still in the process of being rendered into a final movie. The video has since been taken down by Blizzard and is unavailable at the time of publishing, however we have seen a copy.
In the video, Kiriko is seen saving an elderly man and a child from a group of bad guys belonging to the Hashimoto clan. The short film showcased Kiriko's ability to teleport in and out of combat and her use of martial arts moves to take down enemies. She also throws kunai at her attackers as long-range projectiles.
The video also highlights Kiriko's healing ability when she revives the old man after he gets shot by a thug. She can summon a set of blue torii gates that buffs her and her allies. From the looks of it, this could be Kiriko's ultimate ability.
