Overwatch 2 - Hazard

Blizzard Entertainment has revealed the next hero coming to Overwatch 2 in its next season – Hazard. As the leader of Phreaks (which was a codename for an early hero), he’s a Tank who gains powers from that weird sphere in Oasis. Check out the trailer below.

Though the developer hasn’t outlined his kit, Hazard can fire shards from his weapon and also cause spikes to erupt from the ground. The question of survivability is still to be answered, but fortunately, players will soon get to go hands-on. The hero will be available to play for a limited time from November 22nd to 25th.

Stay tuned for more details on Hazard and Season 14, which seemingly begins on December 10th, in the coming days. Though little is known about the season, it will feature a new skin for Venture (potentially their first Legendary since they joined the roster). There will also be playtests for 6v6 – head here to learn more.
