Wuyang is scheduled to come out with Season 18 of Overwatch 2. Barring any changes or delays, we believe the season should begin around Tuesday, August 19th or later.

The midseason patch should arrive on Tuesday, July 22nd, at the earliest. We could see more reveals about the new hero in the days around that date, leading up to the trial weekend.
What is Wuyang's role and nationality?
Wuyang, previously known by its codename Aqua, will be part of the Support hero lineup. This means that the role will now have 12 heroes after his arrival.
In terms of nationality, Wuyang comes from China. He is not the first hero from said Asian country, as Mei also comes from there.
What are Wuyang's abilities in Overwatch 2?
Wuyang's abilities haven't been revealed as of yet, however, previous concept arts indicate that this hero will have abilities that deal with water manipulation.
