London-based animation studio The Line has launched its latest trailer for Blizzard’s Overwatch 2, introducing Venture, the 40th Hero to join the game. The artists drew inspiration from the impactful yet simplified, somewhat abstract style of toons like Samurai Jack to create the spot, dubbed Venture’s Adventure.
The Line also wanted to spotlight the character’s unique personality. Venture is an adventurer straight out of an ’80s blockbuster, dedicated to protecting historical artefacts and tracking them down with the help of their trusty drill. The team led by director JuanPe Arroyo also wanted to highlight the character’s youth and charm.
Venture’s latest run-in with Talon will unfold in Overwatch 2 Season 10: Venture Forth, now available. Venture and all other Hero characters are unlocked immediately for players who have completed the new experience, and the titular Hero is available in Competitive from launch.
Overwatch 2 is free to play on consoles and PC.
