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.
New Tank Hero Hazard Will Debut in Overwatch 2 Season 14
In the latest Overwatch 2 trailer, the new tank hero Hazard is introduced as a member of the Phreaks faction, a group linked to Moira’s experiments at Oasis University. The trailer shows Hazard siphoning a mysterious liquid from Moira’s lab and injecting it into himself, which grants him enhanced abilities, including the power to fight off security guards.
It’s looking like a revolution! 🤘💥

Discover what Overwatch’s newest Tank Hero, Hazard, and his fellow Phreaks, a faction known for their punk and revolutionary spirit, have been up to in the latest Hero Trailer, and play as Hazard for a limited time Nov 22-25 😈 pic.twitter.com/CRkmXkhiMS
This reveal hints at his play style, which seems to position him as a brawler tank, similar to Junker Queen. Hazard is equipped with a shotgun built into his arm, and after absorbing the mysterious liquid, he gains access to a massive energy claw - maybe his ultimate ability? The Jury's still out on that one.
While Blizzard has yet to release detailed information about his full abilities and backstory, the trailer has certainly generated excitement. To further build anticipation, Blizzard announced that Hazard will be available for an early playtest running from Friday, Nov. 22 to Sunday, Nov. 25.
This follows the trend of offering early access for recent hero releases before their official launch, which is set for Overwatch 2's Season 14 next month. More details on Hazard’s abilities and background are expected before the playtest begins, so stay tuned for updates on this exciting new tank hero.
