Overwatch 2Blizzard’s next hero is Hazard, a muscular Scottish tank with a prickly punk attitude, Blizzard Entertainment announced on Tuesday. Hazard is coming Overwatch 2 in Season 14 this December, but players can get their hands on the new tank class hero during a weekend playtest taking place this weekend, November 22-25.
Hazard’s hero reveal trailer introduces him as a member of the Phreaks, a gang that heads to Oasis to secure the location’s unstable element. While under fire from security forces, Hazard absorbs that element into his body, giving him spiky purple growths that he can apparently use in battle. It looks like Hazard can fire crystal-like spikes from his back, form a blade from his left arm, create large crystal formations, and fire that purple stuff from his arm gun. Expect to hear a lot more about Hazard later this week.
Overwatch 2 is free to play on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series
