Here’s everything you need to know about Overwatch 2 Season 14 including Release Date, new Tank Hero Hazard and more.
Overwatch 2 Season 14 Release Date
Overwatch 2 Season 14 is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, December 10 at 11:00 am PT (7:00 pm GMT). A new update will add all the content, and PC players can preload it a few days before its arrival. On the other hand, the preload for console players will begin hours before the season launches.
The season will follow the traditional format, lasting around eight weeks and having a significant mid-season patch.
New Tank Hero Hazard
In trailer, it shows that Hazard’s right hand is a canon equipped with five barrels. It can fire multiple crystals at enemies at once.
Hazard can make purple crystals appear out of the ground. It also appears that this attack can knock enemies back. His flashiest move involves purple crystals emerging from his back and raining down on his foes. He is a new tank from Scotland and will be the 42nd playable character in the game.
Here’s a breakdown of Hazard’s abilities and Ultimate.
- Bonespur (Primary fire): A close to midrange shotgun that fires bursts of spikes and can poke better than other tanks.
- Spike Guard (Secondary fire): blocks incoming damage from the front, but at the same time he will retaliate with a volley of Vanadium spikes to nearby enemies while regenerating his ammo.
- Jagged Wall: Creates a spiky wall of Vanadium that will stick to any surface, including walls and ceilings, that damages and knocks back opponents that touch it.
- Violent Leap: Activating this ability sends Hazard jumping towards an area, and if you press Shift or Melee during the leap Hazard will unleash a devastating slash in front of him.
- Vault: Scale short walls, like his Jagged Wall, and grab ledges.
- Downpour: Rains down spikes across an area in front of Hazard.
More Changes in Overwatch 2 Season 14
Here are other minor details revealed so far that we would like to point out so you don’t overlook anything:
- A new mythic skin will be available through the battle pass and many players expect it to be for a tank, since the past four seasons we´ve only seen mythic for damage and support heroes.
- A 6v6 playtest with the current Overwatch 2 content is set to take place during this season.
- The event Winter Wonderland will probably return along with a new set of Christmas/winter-themed cosmetics.
That’s all you need to know about Overwatch 2 Season 14 releasing on December 10, 2024 with a brand new Tank hero Hazard and Classic mode.
