The next new hero for Overwatch has arrived and she is arriving in style. Meet Shion, the omnic who is running the streets of Japan and working with Talon. Here is a look at all of the Overwatch Shion Abilities, her release date and more.
The official Overwatch Shion Abilities have been revealed in a brand new gameplay video.
Shion Overwatch Abilities
Execution Fire an X-shaped volley. Hold to tighten its spread.
Evade Dash and briefly gain overhealth.
Joyride Rev your engine. Reactivate to dismount and launch your bike forward.

X Machina Execution does 20% more damage to enemies below half health.
Major (Level 3)
Refuel Joyride instantly restores 50 health and regenerates 20 health per second while active.
Faces of Death Gain all other Damage subrole passives (Recon, Specialist, and Sharpshooter).
Until the official reveal, we will discuss what the abilities are that are shown in the video and then update this once they are confirmed.
Weapon: Shion uses duel semo-auto pistols. It looks as if they are like Mauga’s primary fire, where you can use one or the other at different times. It is not clear is one does something different than the other, though.
Ability 1: Shion rides her motorcycle, gaining speed. At the end of the ability or likely on recast, she jumps off the motorcycle as it hurls forward. It will explode and damage any enemies within the explosion radius.
Ability 2: Shion fires a burst of bullets, dealing damage and executing heroes below a certain amount of HP.
Ability 3: Shion can dash in any direction for a short duration. It is possible that she goes invulnerable during this dash as well, but that has not been confirmed yet.
Ultimate: During her ultimate, Shion dashes forward, dealing massive AOE damage in the process.
They were not kidding when they stated “Shion thrives in dangerous situations with nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
Her kit is certainly made to have her dashing in and out of fights. The combo of rolling her motorcycle into a fight and then dashing away while using her execute will definitely be a headache for supports or backline DPS. Because of this, it would not be far-fetched to call Shion an assassin but one that is more like a combination of Anran and Tracer than Genji or Vendetta.
It is likely that Shion will be in the Flanker role, as she will need those health packs after inflicting damage.
The Shion Release Date will be with new Overwatch Season 3 on Tuesday June 15, 2026.
She the 52nd hero of Overwatch and the seventh of the 10 new heroes getting added to Overwatch in 2026. Expect to see her in test the weekend before her official release as Overwatch has done lately.

With Shioon will come the new Neon Junction map.
This map will be a hybrid where you capture the point and then have to push the payload. We have had glimpses of this map so far but it certainly looks like a fun and exciting new map that will push players to think outside of the box.
