Unveiling the Future: Meet Venture, Overwatch 2's New Hero in Season 10 – Gameplay, Abilities, and Exclusive Early Access!
Blizzard Entertainment has recently unveiled Venture, the latest Damage character set to join Overwatch 2 in its Season 10 update. This announcement isn't the first time players have heard of Venture, with initial confirmations emerging during BlizzCon. However, Blizzard has now shared an extensive gameplay trailer and detailed descriptions of Venture's skills, providing fans with a comprehensive look at what to expect.
With the arrival of Season 10 on April 16, Overwatch 2 is poised to undergo significant transformations. The season promises to ease Competitive Play restrictions, adjust hero strengths and weaknesses, and eliminate hero locks from battle pass progress. This change ensures that all players can access Venture immediately with the launch of Season 10, irrespective of their battle pass status.
Ahead of the official Season 10 launch, Blizzard is offering players a sneak peek at Venture through a special trial event from March 28 to March 31. These preview events, which have been organized for previous Overwatch 2 characters as well, allow players to test out new heroes and offer feedback for potential refinements.
In the newly released gameplay footage, Venture is showcased wielding the Smart Excavator, a unique weapon capable of firing a Seismic charge that detonates after a brief delay. Venture's Ultimate ability, Tectonic Shock, mirrors the earth-shattering impact seen in Reinhardt's Ultimate, producing devastating shockwaves. Venture also possesses the abilities to Burrow, rendering them invulnerable and enabling surprise attacks, and Drill Dash, which propels them forward, pushing enemies aside. Additionally, Venture benefits from passive abilities, including Explorer's Resolve, which provides temporary shields upon ability use, and Clobber, enhancing the damage of quick melee attacks.

The introduction of Venture is part of Blizzard's ongoing efforts to refresh and expand the Overwatch 2 universe. Alongside the anticipation for more new heroes, the development team is also working on substantial updates to the game's maps. These additions and updates are eagerly awaited by the Overwatch 2 community as they look forward to experiencing all the new content set to roll out throughout 2024.
