Blizzard Entertainment has just revealed the latest addition to the hero roster - Venture. This daring new hero will make their debut in Season 10, set to commence on April 16, 2024. But wait, there's more - players can get a sneak peek and test out Venture during a limited trial event running from March 28 to March 31.
Venture is not your typical hero. Unlike previous characters, players will have immediate access to Venture after completing a tutorial. Thanks to a groundbreaking change in hero unlocking mechanics, Venture will no longer be locked behind the Battle Pass starting from Season 10.
Initially revealed at BlizzCon, Venture is an archaeologist armed with a "smart excavator" that doubles as a weapon and a means to traverse the map underground, surprising enemies by attacking from below. This unique playstyle is sure to shake up the Overwatch 2 meta.

Additionally, significant changes to the Battle Pass and Mythic Skins unlocking process are anticipated. The Mythic Shop offers players the freedom to unlock and upgrade Mythic Skins from current and past seasons as per their preference.
With Overwatch 2 embracing these exciting updates, players can look forward to a revitalized gaming experience. As the hero shooter genre evolves, competition heats up with the impending launch of a new Marvel character-based hero shooter. It's a thrilling time for gaming enthusiasts as the industry witnesses innovation and fresh gameplay experiences.
