Overwatch's 52nd hero Shion gets first gameplay video

Blizzard gave Overwatch fans a sneak peek at new hero Shion earlier this week, but her kit remained mysterious until a gameplay trailer released Thursday. The Omnic Hashimoto clan gangster’s trailer reveals her weapons and, notably, her motorcycle — wait 'til you see her on her bike.

Shion carries a pair of ornately decorated Kira Pistols that she can fire individually, like a blend of Reaper and Cassidy's primary fire, or unleash as a concentrated, multi-shot Execution spray capable of taking down a Reinhardt. She has a cinematic Evade quick-dodge that grants brief overhealth, and her ultimate, Satsuriku Spree, rushes her forward three times in a storm of gunfire that shocks enemies.

Perhaps most surprising is that Shion actually uses the Akira‑inspired motorcycle in combat. The trailer shows her riding through Overwatch’s new Tokyo map, ghost-riding the bike into a Cassidy and launching it skyward at a Pharah before kick-jumping off. Joyride lets her rev the engine and reactivate to dismount and launch the bike forward.
