Overwatch 2 introduces a new hero to the cast: Sojourn

The newest addition to the roster that relies a lot on your aim mechanics

Overwatch 2 is just around the corner, and Activision promised to bring something new and fresh this time around. Apart from updating certain heroes and new maps, the new installment of their team-based action game adds another member to the team. Or, should we say a returning member to the Overwatch crew?

The newest hero to the roster is Sojourn, a former Overwatch Captain with cybernetic abilities designed to lead and execute all battle plans. As the 33rd Hero, this Damage specialist comes with a unique kit of powerful artilery and skills focused on mobility. Like all the other heroes, she has her own signature weapon in her Railgun that fires rapid high-energy projectiles onto opponents.

A hero for the precise and aggressive players

To supplement the Railgun’s power, Sojourn comes with an area-of-effect (AOE) ability called Disruptor Shot. Basically, this ability pulls in nearby enemies and chips away their health in the process. Now, this ability also comes with a field that slows down enemies, giving players better opportunities to take them out.

If she needs to get out of sticky situations or get straight into the action, her Power Slide will do the trick. In essence, she moves rather quickly and gets into great offensive positions with relative ease. Of course, if you don’t feel like sliding, you can cancel it and turn it into a high leap by jumping. Through this, you can get into elevated positions a lot better.

Finally, her Ultimate ability, Overclock, quick-charges her Railgun and deliver high-energy ammo for maximum damage. When this ability is active, her Railgun’s alternate fire launches powerful shots that pierce through enemies with no cooldown needed. Of course, this ability only lasts a limited time and rewards those with precise aim.

Sojourn will be available to play through the Overwatch 2 Beta available to a limited set of players.

Razer has ventured into the world of pickleball, partnering with JOOLA for a limited-edition JOOLA Razer Perseus Pro IV 16mm paddle.

The paddle will officially be available on December 9. It is co-branded with Razer’s triple-headed snake trademark, as well as signature green accents.

The paddle already made its competitive debut at the 2025 Pickleball World Championships in Dallas. There, it was wielded by Ben Johns, who is widely regarded as the world’s top pickleball pro.

He also happens to spend his free time gaming, making the partnership very apt for him on a personal scale.

This groundbreaking crossover bridges the energy of esports with the fast-growing sport of pickleball. It unites two elite forces in competitive performance: JOOLA for pickleball pros and Razer for the gaming community.

And as part of the launch celebration, fans will have the chance to win a paddle signed by both JOOLA CEO Richard Lee and Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan.

The raffle will be done through a social media giveaway hosted by both JOOLA and Razer.

Game on with the JOOLA Razer Perseus Pro IV 16mm

The JOOLA Razer Perseus Pro IV 16mm is crafted for high-stakes rallies and fast-paced exchanges. Its raw carbon surface enhances spin control and dwell time. This allows players to shape their shots with precision and finesse.

A balanced swing weight also supports quick transitions and reactive play, making it ideal for competitive athletes.

Bringing smart tech to the court, each paddle is also embedded with an NFC chip that connects to the JOOLA Infinity App, unlocking exclusive content, pro tips, and extended warranty.

Only a total of 1,337 units of the limited-edition paddle will be made. The number 1,337 is a nod to gaming culture, where “1337” or “LEET” means short for elite and is used to signify top-tier skill and mastery.

The pickleball paddle will retail officially for US$ 299.95 and will be available exclusively via JOOLA.com.
