What is coming in Overwatch 2 Season 12?

Season 12 of Overwatch 2 is set to be one of the best the game has put out in some time. This is headlined by the exciting addition of the space ranger hero, Juno, who adds lots of mobility and a different playstyle to the support class. However, that is far from all coming in the new season.

Additionally, fans will be able to earn a new mythic skin for Reaper called Anubis Reaper. This new skin goes perfectly with a new Clash map, Throne of Anubis, which enters the game alongside the new Hanamura reskin, Hanaoka.

Somehow, these additions are just the tip of the iceberg for what is to come in Season 12 of Overwatch 2. For more on what to expect, stay tuned here at esports.gg for all the latest Overwatch 2 news and updates!
