The last Hero of 2026 for Overwatch has been revealed as Hudson. Here is what we know about the new Detective Omnic hero and how he will play into the next part of the Overwatch Universe.
Of all of the new heroes coming to Overwatch, Hudson may be one of the most highly anticipated. At least of the 10 new heroes added in 2026.
Overwatch Hudson
We do not know much about Hudson other than he is an Omnic who dresses like a Detective.
What he will be doing in the Overwatch lore is also unknown. The only hint we have received so far is that he doesn’t just dress like a Detective, he actually is one.
An earlier teaser on the Midtown map also revealed a business card for Hudson Investigations, naming Ellie Hudson and Rigby M-018. Their exact connection to the new hero is still unclear.
You can see the latest reveal from the official Overwatch Twitter/X account.
It looks like Hudson is confirmed to be joining Overwatch in Season 6.
This aligns perfectly with it being the last Season of Overwatch for 2026 and Hudson being the last hero added of the 10 new heroes for the year. Season 6 of Overwatch is currently scheduled to be released on December 8, 2026.
Most likely, we will get a look at Hudson a few weeks earlier as they like for the fans to playtest the new heroes ahead of their official release.
More information about Hudson is expected during the Overwatch Champions Series World Finals, taking place from December 2-6, 2026.
Hudson’s abilities are currently unknown. Once they are known, this will be updated.
That being said, it looks like he could be using the umbrella in some capacity or another.
Along with this, there have been rumors about whether Hudson will be a Support or DPS hero.
While earlier hints pointed toward Support, there has also been speculation about him being a DPS hero instead. His official role has not yet been confirmed.
