Overwatch's BlizzCon announcements introduced Doctrine, a new Support hero built around a vampire-inspired theme. Blizzard describes him as a life-draining healer who can deploy bat-like drones, adding another unconventional support concept to the roster. Doctrine is part of Season 5 and arrives alongside substantial reworks for Sombra and Roadhog. Blizzard also revealed a new battlefield called Watchpoint: Grimsvotn. Season 5 closes The Reign of Talon, the connected year-long narrative that began with Overwatch's 2026 seasonal reset. A limited opportunity to try Doctrine around BlizzCon gives players an early impression, while Blizzard has scheduled its next major Overwatch Spotlight for February 2027.
