Not every archaeologist is Indiana Jones; some are actually more destructive and insane as they plunder ruins for trinkets and treasures. One such figure is Venture, the newest hero to arrive in Overwatch 2.
Venture is a damage hero who officially launches with this week’s Season 10 after the past few weeks of trialing: “Armed with a massive drill and an arsenal of seismic abilities, Venture brings a fresh dynamic to the battlefield (and underneath it). Outwit your adversaries and unearth victory as you dive, dig, drill, and deliver massive damage in the process.”
“Break ground with the newest Damage hero, Venture, a spirited archaeologist who channels their passion for history into daring acts of heroism. Armed with a massive drill and an arsenal of seismic abilities, Venture brings a fresh dynamic to the battlefield (and underneath it). Outwit your adversaries and unearth victory as you dive, dig, drill, and deliver massive damage in the process. Harnessing the power of their Smart Excavator, Venture primarily launches unstable seismic energy that explodes, and deals burst damage. With their Burrow ability, they can become invulnerable underground while gathering momentum for a calculated ambush upon re-emergence. Then use Drill Dash to dash forward to make some space as you knock opponents back. When you’re ready to totally obliterate anyone foolish enough to be in your path, Venture can unleash a massive shockwave with their Tectonic Shock Ultimate. Whether you’re traversing a covert subterranean path or bursting out to engage in close-quarter combat, Venture offers versatile gameplay that will wreak havoc on your adversaries.”
And if you fret that you’ll have to pay or work hard to unlock this new hero, here’s some great news: Blizzard’s unlocked all Overwatch 2 heroes for free starting with this patch.
Other changes with Season 10 include the limited-time Mirrowatch event (April 23rd through May 13th), easier ways to earn Overwatch Coins, a new 80-tier battle pass, a Clash game mode, various balance changes, and the ability to pick mythic hero skins.
