Overwatch 2 has just introduced a new support hero named Juno, and they’ll be playable from July 19th to the 21st in an early preview event.
Introduced in a video on Twitter today, Juno is a new support class coming to Overwatch 2. She appears to be an Astronaut who uses
- A Mediblaster as her main weapon
- A kick for melee
- Glide Boost to float up in the air
- Pulsar Torpedoes that hone in for teammate heals and enemy damage
- Hyper Ring that speeds up all teammates that run through it
- Orbital Ray Ultimate that buffs teammates and damages enemies as it rains down from the heavens
She will be available for a short time, July 19th through the 21st, and is a part of season 12 starting August 20th. Her base movement is a cosmic/anti-gravity roller skate setup, that combined with her hover ability teases a lot of movement options. The Mediblaster hurts enemies and heals teammates in what appears to be short bursts of fire.
We loved Overwatch 2 back when it launched, stating:
“Overwatch 2 is a rebirth for one of my favorite games of the past generation. Featuring great new heroes, gorgeous and well-balanced new maps, a new mode in Push that I’ve greatly enjoyed, and a progression system that feels about the same as most free-to-play titles it’s an easy recommendation for both new and returning players alike. Add in an upcoming PVE co-op mode next year and I can see myself easily putting another one or two thousand hours into this title over the coming few years.”
Are you still playing, or if not will this pull you back in? Let us know in the comment section.
That’s my new main I guess.
I’m always open to the 3 roles, and mainly playing support or tank for that reason, so a fun and cool new support character is much appreciated.
