The most recent season of Overwatch 2 brings forth the opportunity for players to unlock and embody Venture permanently. However, despite Venture's pivotal role in this season, fans have noticed a meager selection of skins available for the new hero at launch. Overwatch 2's Season 10: Venture Forth celebration offers a plethora of captivating skins for numerous heroes, but this seems to come at the expense of cosmetics for the damage-dealing hero equipped with a drill.
Introduced at the close of March and recently accessible during a time-limited public trial, Venture emerges as the 40th hero in the realm of Overwatch 2. An adventurous archaeologist, Venture wields the Smart Excavator drill, enabling various abilities like safe underground burrowing for strategic positioning, and a forward dash for a potent knockback melee strike at foes. With passive skills that enhance swift melee attacks and grant temporary shields post-ability usage, Venture's toolkit bears a striking resemblance to Doomfist's original skill set. Notably, Venture also marks the debut of a playable non-binary character in Overwatch 2.
Despite a positive reception from players during the trial phase, aspiring Venture enthusiasts in Overwatch 2 might find themselves let down by the limited cosmetic choices available for the character. Although a glimpse of Venture's upcoming skins has been revealed for Season 10, the hero does not receive any new skins through the season's battle pass. This absence marks a departure from the tradition of introducing a new hero with accompanying skins in the debut season pass, leading to concerns among fans about the potential delay of legendary skins until a subsequent season. A post by Snack-in-Mech online initiated a community dialogue on this matter, showcasing a preview of Venture's initial skins.
What to Expect in Overwatch 2's Season 10?
Season 10 brings forth an array of fresh skins for various heroes through the Mirrorwatch event, scheduled in Overwatch 2 from April 23rd to May 13th. This event explores an alternate universe where familiar Overwatch agents like Tracer and Reinhardt align with the antagonistic Talon group, while former Talon members like Doomfist and Widowmaker take on Overwatch roles.
Additionally, these characters will undergo slight adjustments to their abilities within this new mode. While Venture may not receive significant attention in Season 10's battle pass, the season promises a bountiful experience overall, complete with the chance to earn Overwatch Coins as an added incentive.
