Blizzard has taken the wraps off a new trailer showcasing upcoming Overwatch 2 hero Junker Queen’s abilities in action. In the trailer, we can see Junker Queen killing enemies in different locations, including her native Junkertown.

The trailer also showcases all of her previously-revealed abilities, such as Scattergun primary fire and her Commanding Shout area-of-effect buff. Fans also got to see several of the Queen’s voice lines, including special interactions with Junkrat and Roadhog, two former residents of Junkertown.

Alongside the trailer, Blizzard also released a blog post talking about the inspiration and reasoning behind Junker Queen’s combat design. Unlike the tanks who are returning from the first Overwatch, the Queen was built from scratch for five-vs-five combat.

She was also designed specifically for Overwatch 2‘s one-tank teams, so she’s capable of plenty of damage and crowd control by herself. Blizzard made her a “brawly” hero and a “berserker tank” specifically to fit the new, more aggressive tank role.

Like the rest of Overwatch 2’s playable cast, Junker Queen comes packed with abilities that she can use to dominate the battlefield. Her passive, Adrenaline Rush, lets the character wound enemies with her abilities and heal from the damage over time the wound causes.

Jagged Blade has two potential uses: a secondary fire active that makes her throw the knife Gracie in a skill shot, and a passive that wounds any enemy who is a victim of her quick melee attack.

Besides, Commanding Shout provides nearby allies a health and movement speed buff, helping Junker Queen keep her teammates intact in the game. Her ultimate, Rampage, allows her to charge forward while whirling her ax, wounding and debuffing all opponents.

Junker Queen will be available for players to enjoy during the next Overwatch 2 PvP beta, which begins on June 28.
