Overwatch Introduces Doctrine, a Vampire-Influenced Support Hero

Blizzard unveiled Doctrine, a vampire-inspired support hero for Overwatch at BlizzCon 2026, who wields a healing scepter and commands mechanical bats as drones; his Infuse ability can empower the next action (like turning a dash into flight). A new map, Watch Camp: Grimvotn, was revealed, and Roadhog is getting adjustments to function more as a tank while Sombra is being reworked as a support. Doctrine will be playable for a limited time after launch in October, Dokiwatch cosmetics are returning, and another hero is still slated for release later this year.

In Toledo, a former criminal-defense attorney pulled a handgun during Sabira’s opening night and aimed at his ex-wife, but the weapon didn’t fire because he left the safety on. A quick-thinking waiter, Tracy Cole Jr., tackled him and restrained him as onlookers screamed. Exton, who later testified he intended to pressure the ex-wife, was convicted of attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault, and his law license was suspended. The ex-wife’s identity was not disclosed, and prosecutors called the attack an attempted public execution.
