New Overwatch 2 Support Hero Wuyang Arrives Soon – Trial Dates & Full Release
Blizzard has confirmed that Wuyang, the upcoming Support Hero in Overwatch 2, will be available for players to try during a Hero Trial running from August 14–18. This limited event will let fans test Wuyang’s abilities ahead of his full debut in Season 18, launching Tuesday, August 26.
🎯 A Packed Month for Overwatch 2
August is shaping up to be an action-filled month for Overwatch 2. Just days before the announcement, on August 5, Blizzard revealed a Nerf collaboration, introducing:
- Six weapon skins inspired by the Nerf brand
- A Legendary Cassidy skin
- A limited-time “Nerf or Nothin’” deathmatch mode (available until August 18)
This special mode removes Support heroes like Mercy from the roster and reduces cooldowns by 80%, ensuring matches are fast-paced and chaotic.
🆕 Wuyang – Overwatch 2’s 44th Hero
While Wuyang won’t appear in the Nerf crossover, players can soon get their hands on him during the August 14 Hero Trial.
Hero Overview:
- Role: Support
- Origin: China
- Lore: Student of the Water College at Wuxing University
- First Teased: February 2025 Overwatch 2 spotlight video (code name “Aqua”)
Blizzard also confirmed that a motion comic, gameplay trailer, and developer livestream will drop in the days leading up to the trial.
🌊 Wuyang’s Abilities (Leaked)
Wuyang’s kit revolves around aquatic powers that control the battlefield while healing allies:
- Guardian Wave (E): Boosts healing received by teammates and knocks back enemies.
- Ultimate – Tidal Blast: Summons a water shield for himself or an ally, which can detonate to knock down enemies and heal the shielded player.
- Additional Perks: Options to amplify healing output or increase the number of controllable water orbs.
📅 What’s Coming in Season 18
Alongside Wuyang’s release, Overwatch 2 Season 18 will feature:
- A new Mythic skin for Sojourn
- Hero balance changes across the roster
With new events, a hero trial, and major hero updates, August 2025 is one of the busiest months yet for Overwatch 2 players.
