There will also be some upcoming tank changes.
Overwatch 2 fans have been getting more and more excited about the news emerging about the game’s next hero, Space Ranger. Up until today, all we really had to go off of was some concept art and hidden gems around some Overwatch maps, but we now have some exciting news about what to expect thanks to Overwatch 2 lead gameplay designer Alec Dawson.
Overwatch 2 Space Ranger will be a mobile Support hero
In a recent interview with Jacob “Spilo” Clifton, Dawson confirmed some exciting news about Space Ranger, the game’s next hero.Dawson statedthat Space Ranger will be a “high mobility, versatile support is very much what her playstyle will be about, and brings some utility that is in the Support cast that only one character has at the moment… It’s going to be a lot of fun, the game is going to be really fast.”
From that sentiment, it sounds like Space Ranger has all the makings of a high-flying Lucio-like hero in Overwatch 2, which sounds like a ton of fun from the outset. However, we will have to wait a bit longer until anything else is confirmed, as it’s likely that Space Ranger won’t come until Season 12. For now, all we have is this information and theteasers around some maps.
