Let’s get ready to go on a new adventure!  Log onto Overwatch 2 and play the newest Damage hero, Venture, now available to play in a limited-time hero trial starting today through Sunday, March 31 PDT.

Drill Dash allows you to lunge forward and knock back all who stand in Venture’s path. You can also use Drill Dash while burrowing at a reduced cooldown when you need to get to your next team fight quickly.

When Venture wants to shake things up, their Tectonic Shock ultimate ability will tear through the competition. When activated, Venture can fire up to four powerful shockwaves in a short time, damaging all caught in their wake. While these
