Blizzard is gearing up to relaunch Overwatch once more as the game is approaching its 10-year anniversary. With a bold move, Overwatch 2 is finally rebranding back to Overwatch, as Blizzard has decided to remove the 2 from the game's title.
Aside from the title change, Blizzard is also introducing five new heroes to Overwatch, paired up with balancing adjustments and quality of life updates. One of these heroes is the new DPS hero, Emre. Here's a look at how Emre's abilities will work in Overwatch.
Emre’s Abilities in Overwatch
Emre is a former member of the Overwatch Strike Team. He once stood as an example of Overwatch’s ideals, but as Overwatch lost sight of its mission, Emre chose to leave. Freja tracked him down and discovered that his body has been altered with cybernetic modifications. His mind appears to be in conflict; sometimes he behaves like the person he once was, and other times he seems detached.
As a key player in the Talon narrative of the relaunch season 1 update, he is now aligned with Vendetta. As a specialist DPS Emre brings a fast-paced, run‑and‑gun damage style. Here's a look at how his abilities will work in Overwatch:
- Synthetic Burst Rifle (Primary Fire) - Three-round burst weapon.
- Take Aim (Secondary Fire) - Hold to zoom in, tightening accuracy and increasing fall off range.
- Siphon Blaster - Temporarily wield a semi-automatic pistol with life stealing explosive rounds. Move faster and jump higher while wielded.
- Cyber Frag - Throw a grenade that detonates shortly after bouncing.
- Ultimate — Override Protocol - An override initiates, transforming you into a living weapon. Fires rapid explosive blasts or charged mega‑shots capable of wiping teams.
- Passive – Altered Vitals - Passive health regeneration activates sooner and instantly restores 30 health when activated.
All in all, Emre is a Specialist Damage hero. As a specialist hero, eliminating an enemy briefly increases his reload speed. His passive ability enables him to start regenerating his health sooner and instantly restores 30 health. He falls in the same sub-role as Bastion, Junkrat, Mei, Soldier: 76, Symmetra and Torbjorn.
