Overwatch 2 fans are in for a treat with the introduction of the new support hero, Juno. Blizzard has finally revealed the details about this exciting addition to the game, and players will have the opportunity to test her out this weekend. Juno, previously known as Space Ranger, has made her grand entrance into the Overwatch universe as the game’s first playable Martian character.
In a recently released gameplay trailer, Juno’s abilities are showcased, giving players a glimpse of what to expect. Her primary weapon, the Mediblaster, functions similarly to Ana’s Biotic Rifle, allowing her to heal allies and deal damage to enemies. Additionally, her Pulsar Torpedoes ability can both heal and damage, adding versatility to her kit. Unlike some other support heroes, Juno also possesses traversal abilities such as Glide Boost, which enables her to soar through the air, and Hyper Ring, a speed boost for herself and her teammates.
Juno’s ultimate ability, Orbital Ray, unleashes a powerful beam from a satellite that traverses the map, although the full extent of its impact on allies and enemies remains unknown. While the specifics of Juno’s abilities have not been fully disclosed, players can look forward to experiencing her firsthand when she becomes available for a trial weekend from July 19 to July 21. During this trial period, Juno will be accessible in all modes except Competitive, allowing players to familiarize themselves with her unique playstyle.
For those eager to continue using Juno beyond the trial weekend, she will officially join the roster at the start of Overwatch 2’s season 12 on August 20. With her intriguing abilities and distinct appearance, Juno is poised to become a popular choice among support players. As a fan of the support role myself, I am excited to see how Juno will impact the game and look forward to testing her out in the upcoming trial weekend. Get ready to welcome Juno to the Overwatch 2 universe and experience the game in a whole new way!
