Overwatch recently made a significant shakeup in the Talon roster, with key members Reaper, Sombra, and Widowmaker departing as new recruits Emre, Freja, and Ashe join the organization. This change coincides with the upcoming launch of Overwatch’s new story arc, Reign of Talon Season 1: Conquest.
In-Game Changes
Blizzard is revamping Overwatch as it plans to release five new heroes and progress to an annual story-driven model. The initial arc features Vendetta’s rise after defeating Doomfist and taking control of Talon.
A recent comic, narrated by voice actor Chiara Preziosi, explores the aftermath of Vendetta’s leadership. During a strategic meeting, Moira delivers news about the three outgoing agents opposing Vendetta’s aggressive tactics.
Despite this setback, Vendetta is promptly filling her ranks with solid new talent. Emre and Freja, both formerly search-and-rescue agents, are stepping into pivotal roles in Talon’s ambitious operations. Their allegiance appears to be volatile, contingent on the favor of their new employer, Maximilien, who offers them enticing contracts.
Vendetta’s engagement also extends beyond internal changes, securing alliances with Ashe’s Deadlock Gang to bolster strategy against Helix.
Talon’s Transitions
Leaving Talon

- Sombra (Opposed Vendetta)
