It’s now been eight years since Overwatch was originally released and a steady flow of new heroes has been coming ever since.
Now, in the summer of 2024, Overwatch 2 is set to get a new hero, which will be the 41st hero in the game. Venture, who was released in season 10, was the landmark 40th, and this next hero is set to debut when season 12 begins at the end of August.
Here’s everything we know so far about Overwatch’s new hero, a support codenamed “Space Ranger.”
Space Ranger – Overwatch 2 support hero
“Space Ranger” was the codename for Overwatch 2’s 41st hero, a support hero, due to launch in season 12. Her actual name is Juno, officially revealed to the world on July 18, 2024.
The new hero debuted at BlizzCon 2023, where she was revealed alongside Venture, who was released in season 10. Juno will release in OW2’s season 12 on Aug. 20, and we now know a lot of info about her.
Design-wise, Juno is a young girl with purple hair and a teal and orange suit that’s equipped with white exo-suit armor pieces. She has a space helmet, a jetpack, and rocket boots, and a very cool ability set.
Juno has a burst-fire SMG that heals allies and damages enemies, a boost into the air that allows her to glide, torpedoes that also heal allies and damage enemies, a speed-boosting ring, and an ultimate that calls in a laser from space satellites.
Juno is voiced by actor Xanthe Huynh, and she is the 11th support hero added to the game.
Overwatch 2’s season 12 is set to begin on Aug. 20.
