The tantalizing glimpse we got in the trailer has left me eagerly awaiting any morsel of information Blizzard is willing to dish out.


The wait is over as Blizzard has officially revealed the new tank hero, previously speculated to be named Phreak but now confirmed to be Hazard. This mysterious Irish hero is shrouded in secrecy, with the only details available coming from a brief cinematic trailer. However, despite the limited information, let’s dive into what we know about Hazard, the upcoming tank hero in Overwatch 2.

In the recently released Overwatch 2 preview, the freshly unveiled tank character named Hazard is presented as belonging to the Phreaks alliance, a collective associated with Moira’s research at Oasis University. The trailer depicts Hazard stealing an enigmatic substance from Moira’s lab and self-administering it, thereby gaining extraordinary skills, such as being able to fend off security personnel.

This disclosure suggests that his gaming approach aligns with a tough tank character, reminiscent of Junker Queen. Equipped with a shotgun attached to his arm and having ingested the enigmatic liquid, he appears to wield a colossal energy claw – possibly his final move? The jury is still deliberating on this detail.

Although Blizzard hasn’t disclosed comprehensive details about Hazard’s skills and background, the trailer has definitely sparked enthusiasm. To fuel even more excitement, Blizzard has announced that a preliminary playtest featuring Hazard will take place from Friday, November 22 to Sunday, November 25.

This adheres to the pattern of providing early play opportunities for newly introduced heroes prior to their full launch, scheduled for Overwatch 2’s Season 14 next month. Further information about Hazard’s abilities and backstory will be shared before the testing phase commences, so keep an eye out for updates on this upcoming tank hero.
