New Playable Hero Venture
One of the major additions to Overwatch 2 Season 10 is the new playable hero, “Venture.” Venture is a close to mid range DPS unit with very unique abilities. The hero will be playable to all players right after the season 10 release on April 16. Thanks to the new monetization system all of the new, old and upcoming heroes won’t be locked behind the Battle Pass, meaning every player gets to play them regardless of their progression of the BP.
Wrecking Ball Rework
Another interesting part of the upcoming Overwatch 2 Season 10 update is the rework of Wrecking Ball. In a recent blog post, Overwatch 2’s game director Aaron Keller revealed the changes coming to the tank hero.
While nearly every aspect of Wrecking Ball is being adjusted to add some extra power, the likely most effective change comes in the adaptive shields. Keller stated, “Now after using Adaptive Shields, you can reactivate the ability to transfer up to 300 overhealth to nearby allies, capped at 75 overhealth per ally.” Which will make diving with Wrecking Ball even more effective when combined with DPS allies.
New Mythic Shop
From the beginning of Overwatch 2 Season 10, you will be able to purchase any mythic skin as well as it’s customization from the new “Mythic Shop” addition. These purchases will require a new currency, known as “Mythic Prisms”, which can be earned in the premium battle pass.
The Mythic Shop will feature all of the skins from Seasons 1 through 7, with other seasonal skins becoming available in the shop 2 seasons after they debut.
New ‘Mirrorwatch’ Event Mode
Launching in Overwatch 2’s new season is the “Mirrorwatch” event mode. Mirrorwatch inverts the role of the heroes and villains in Overwatch 2.
More than just changing the skins of the heroes and villains however, Mirrorwatch also gives each of the playable characters new abilities to match their new roles in the mode. This includes such changes as an evil version of Mercy firing projectiles from her Caduceus Staff. As well, a good version of Doomfist, that uses Reinhardt’s shield to protect both himself and teammates.
New Pride Event
Returning again in Overwatch 2 after becoming a much-praised addition in 2023, Season 10 is confirmed to feature a new Pride event for the new season.
