Overwatch 2’s season 12 launch trailer just hit and is promising some big changes to the game and a lot of benefits for Game Pass subscribers.
Overwatch 2 season 12 is launching on August 20th. Blizzard has just unveiled their launch trailer for the 12th season of Overwatch 2 and it’s a doozy. A new hero named Juno, new maps, modes, and a slew of content for Game Pass subscribers are coming.
Juno is described as:
Juno has touched down on Earth! Millions of players have already welcomed our first Martian, and they have been excited to play her again. Now she’s ready to glide her way into the action and provide simultaneous healing and damage dealing as the new mobile Support hero, who has journeyed from her home planet of Mars to join the fray. Juno’s versatile Mediblaster and Pulsar Torpedoes enable her to deliver both healing to her allies and damage to her foes at the same time, making her a fantastic Support hero. Her Hyper Ring ability accelerates team movements for quick engagements and retreats, while her high mobility, enhanced by Martian Overboots, allows her to navigate the battlefield with unparalleled agility. Then unleash the power of your Orbital Ray and power up your teammates to burst through tough chokes and fortified defenses.
Juno will be available for everyone when Season 12 launches, and you’ll be able to queue up and play her in Competitive Play. Be sure to tune in for more teases from our extraterrestrial visitor coming in the days ahead, including her premiere hero trailer on our official social channels.
