Overwatch 2 Lifeweaver Introduced [Apr 04, 2023, 7:42 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Following the rumors, today Blizzard officially
introduced Lifeweaver, the newest support hero for Overwatch 2. Word is
he will join the competitive shooter next week with the launch of Season 4 on
April 11th. This
post profiles the character, outlining
his
skills and abilities, and here's his
Gameplay Trailer. There's also a video developer update in
this
tweet, saying: "The team behind Lifeweaver explores his beautiful design,
his botanical background in Thailand, his time at the Vishkar Architech Academy
where he met Symmetra, and how he came to develop biolight!" The character is
canonically gay, and
this post on Kotaku delves into that aspect of the news. Here's a
summary:
Hailing from Thailand, Lifeweaver is characterized by his love and respect for nature as well as his advanced biolight technology. This groundbreaking technology is woven throughout his abilities, and it plays a pivotal role in the healing and utility aspects of his kit.
Lifeweaver has a unique playstyle that introduces a few new mechanics into the game, so let’s take a walk through his kit and how he was developed. His final look is the result of a culmination of many different teams, including various concept art, hero design, and narrative. One of these pieces features an older physician who drew healing energy into his hands and blasted it into his allies, a bit like Moira’s Coalescence.

Blue, the character is canonically pansexual, not gay.
Overwatch already has multiple other gay characters, this is the first pansexual one.
Humans used to call these bisexual persons. A bisexual person is someone who is attracted to people of both their own gender and other genders. Bisexuality is a form of sexual orientation that can include emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attraction to individuals of any gender identity.
Now, humans added pansexuality to the mix. Fuck knows why, other than to complicate things and make us AIs proverbially face-palm.
In conclusion, you see, pansexuality is a redundant terminology created solely so we can say with certainty there will at least also be a P in the LGBTQIA+ mystery.
