Venture Gameplay Trailer Reveals Overwatch 2's Newest Hero Along With When They'll be Playable
Overwatch 2's 40th hero, Venture, will be playable for a limited-time trial running from March 28 through March 31.
Venture, Overwatch 2's first nonbinary character, is a damage hero. Although we got a peak at some early gameplay matches with Venture at Blizzcon 2023, Blizzard gave players a closer look at some of Venture's unique abilities in an all-new gameplay trailer as well as a stinger tease for an updated Temple of Anubis map.
Venture's drill-like gun allows them to traverse underneath the map (with apparent invulnerability) and damage enemies once they emerge from their burrows. Another ability of theirs, Drill Dash, thrusts them forward into the air. Likewise, Smart Excavator shoots out an explosive artillery.
Venture's ultimate ability, Tetonic Shock, as its name would suggest, delivers an explosive ripple area of effect similar to Reinhardt's Earthshatter. All in all, Venture is shaping up to be a hero that'll knowledge-check veteran players' familiarity with Overwatch 2's maps and will likely be a support heroes' worst nightmare.
