Blizzard has just announced the latest addition to Overwatch 2, a new support hero named Juno. From July 19 to July 21, players will have the opportunity to try out Juno’s abilities in the game. Previously known as Space Ranger, Juno was first teased at Blizzcon 2023 alongside Venture. Players were given a glimpse of her blaster and Death Stranding-style shoulder attachments, which are not just for show. These attachments can target heal allies and attack enemies.
According to Blizzard, Juno is equipped with Pulsar Torpedoes that can lock onto multiple targets. Her Glide Boost ability allows her to quickly move around the battlefield to provide crucial support wherever it is needed. Juno’s Hyper Ring ability propels the team into action, while her Ultimate Orbital Ray boosts damage and replenishes health.
In addition to her abilities, Blizzard also revealed Juno’s voice actor, Xanthe Huynh, known for her work in anime and video games such as Hunter x Hunter and Persona 5. Blizzard expressed their excitement to have Huynh on board and looks forward to players experiencing Juno in the game.
Juno’s arrival brings the total number of support characters in Overwatch 2 to 11, providing more options for players who prefer the support role. With her added mobility and powerful ultimate ability, Juno is expected to be a valuable asset to both experienced and new healers in the game.
Overall, Juno’s introduction to Overwatch 2 is anticipated to shake up the support hero meta and offer players a fresh and exciting gameplay experience. Be sure to take advantage of the limited-time trial period from July 19 to 21 to test out Juno’s capabilities for yourself and see how she fits into your team composition. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements from Blizzard as they continue to expand the Overwatch 2 roster and gameplay features.
