Following a bit of a tease at least year’s BlizzCon, Blizzard has given Overwatch 2’s 41st hero the full reveal treatment. And that’s not all! Juno, as the shooter’s new Martian space ranger is known, is available to play today for a limited-time.
When Blizzard first teased Juno last year, she was known only by the codename Space Ranger. It was, however, confirmed, she’d be Overwatch’s first Martian character, as well as a “highly mobile support hero”. Eight months later and we now have a much clearer idea of who Juno is, as well as what she can do, thanks to a brand-new gameplay trailer showcasing her abilities.
Sporting a kind of retrofuturistic look, complete with jet-infused roller-boots and a slinky ray gun, Juno leans heavily on speedy traversal. Her passive Martian Overboots ability can be triggered while airborne, enabling her to hover for a limited time, and it can be paired with her Glide Boost, allowing her glide horizontally with increased movement speed.
