As the team at Blizzard, as well as players around the world, prepare for the launch of Overwatch 2, we find ourselves in Junkertown for the latest character reveal. Junker Queen was initially revealed a couple weeks ago in the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase via a CGI cinematic, but now we have our first look at her kit. Wielding a pump action shotgun, Junker Queen will have the following skills at her disposal according to a recent tweet by the official Overwatch account:
Adrenaline Rush (passive) – Heal from all damage over time dealt by wounds.
Jagged Blade (passive) – Quick Melee wounds enemies, dealing damage over time.
Jagged Blade (active) – Throw your blade. Can re-activate to return it.
Commanding Shout – Increase health by 200 and nearby allies health by 100. Increase movement speed by 30%
Carnage – Swing your axe to wound all enemies in front of you dealing damage over time.
Rampage (ultimate) – Charge forward. Wound enemies, dealing damage over time and preventing them from being healed.
Simply reading through the kit barely does it justice though, see the abilities in action here. But wait, there’s more. Overwatch 2 developers also held a lengthy AMA event on Reddit this week – find all of the questions and responses here. Last, but not least, if you’re hoping to get your hands on Overwatch 2 before its official release in October, be sure to sign up for the next PVP beta test, which is set to run from Tuesday, June 28th through Monday, July 18th.
