Jaym0's Avatar by Jaym0

Blizzard has revealed Wuyang, the latest support hero joining the Overwatch 2 squad. Originally, the character was teased during the Spotlight event in February. Wuyang is now going to launch with Season 18 on Tuesday, August 26 at 11:00 AM PT (7:00 PM BST).

Luckily, you will not have to unlock him manually, or pay to get him, he will be available to everyone on day one! But before his full release, as always, Wuyang gets a hero trial weekend! From August 14 to 18 everyone can try him out. The trial is only limited to casual Quick Play, and not any ranked matches.

Wuyang will join the Support characters, raising the number to 12 heroes. He comes with Chinese roots and water-based abilities!

Wuyang’s Abilities Overview

His abilities leaked thanks to a Blizzard survey, so here is a first look at what exactly he can do:

His kit is rather unique compared to other previous healers. More details and gameplay previews may be revealed as we get closer to the trial weekend on August 14, so keep an eye on our latest news!
