Summary
- Overwatch 2 Season 12 premieres on August 20 with the debut of new hero Juno, promising exciting new content and updates for fans.
- Fans can expect a new trailer on August 14 to reveal everything Season 12 has to offer.
Wednesday, August 14 is the day that Overwatch 2 fans will get to see everything that Season 12 has to offer. Currently, Overwatch 2 is in the midst of Season 11, which introduced a Sentai-themed battle pass and a new Push map along with significant hero balance changes. Overwatch 2 Season 12 is on the horizon, and is set to be even bigger than Season 11.
That's because Overwatch 2 Season 12 will feature the debut of new Support hero Juno. Overwatch 2 players had the chance to try Juno for a limited time during Season 11, but Season 12 will mark her proper introduction to the hero-shooter. Many Overwatch 2 players seem optimistic about Juno and think that she will make for a solid addition to the game's roster of Support heroes.
Besides the fact that Overwatch 2 is adding Juno in Season 12, there's not much fans know about what next season has in store for the game. Luckily, Overwatch 2 enthusiasts won't be left in the dark for all that much longer. Blizzard has confirmed that a new trailer for Overwatch 2 Season 12 will drop on Wednesday, August 14, at which point fans should get a look at everything else Season 12 has in store.
Overwatch 2 Season 12 Trailer Coming on August 14

- Overwatch 2 Season 12 starts August 20
Overwatch 2 Season 12 will launch on August 20 with the theme "New Frontiers." The trailer coming on August 14 will likely reveal what fans can expect from the Season 12 battle pass skins, as well as the new Mythic. The latest Overwatch 2 season introduced the concept of Mythic Weapons, so it will be interesting to see if Season 12 has its own Mythic Weapon in store. OW2 Season 11 also featured a Transformers collab, so one has to wonder if another crossover is in the cards for Season 12.
There's a lot riding on Overwatch 2 Season 12. The popular hero-shooter has found itself in a strange place as of late, as some fans are demanding the return of 6v6 and Blizzard has struggled to balance the game to make the experience fun for all roles. New competitors like Marvel Rivals and Concord are poised to hit the scene soon as well, so hopefully Blizzard comes out guns blazing with its Overwatch 2 Season 12 content to keep longtime fans engaged. We'll get a much better idea of what Blizzard is planning for Season 12 when the trailer drops on August 14.
