Overwatch 2’s New Hero Wuyang Gets 5-Day Trial Event
Overwatch 2 has officially opened the doors for players to try Wuyang, the upcoming Season 18 support hero, in a special five-day trial. From August 14 at 10 AM PT through August 19 at 10 AM PT, players can jump into Quick Play matches and test out his unique, water-themed abilities.
📅 Trial Schedule
- Start: August 14, 2025 – 10 AM PT
- End: August 19, 2025 – 10 AM PT
- Duration: 5 full days (120 hours)
⚠️ Restrictions:
- Playable only in Quick Play and Stadium modes.
- No Competitive Play access during the trial.
- No badge or stat progress for Wuyang during this period.
💡 Fun fact: Most Overwatch 2 hero trials last 4 days — this one gives an extra day to experiment.
🌀 Wuyang — Abilities Overview
Primary Weapon – Xuanwu Staff
- Primary Fire: Launches a controllable water orb to damage enemies, great for airborne targets.
- Secondary Fire: Provides a passive heal-over-time to allies; can be temporarily boosted for stronger healing (similar to Mercy’s Caduceus Staff).
Guardian Wave
- Sends out a wave that boosts ally healing and disrupts enemy positioning.
Rushing Torrent
- Grants burst mobility to quickly reposition or escape danger.
Ultimate – Tidal Blast
- Shields self or an ally briefly, then detonates to heal the target massively and knock down nearby enemies.
⏭️ What’s Next After the Trial?
Wuyang officially joins the Overwatch 2 roster on August 26, 2025, with the launch of Season 18 — just one week after the trial ends.
Season 18 will also include:
