Overwatch 2 Season 12 officially adds new hero Juno, the newly-reworked “Anubis” map and 6 free skins that are up for grabs.
We’re exploring new frontiers with the latest game changes coming to Overwatch 2 Season 12.
Besides Juno’s entry in the 5v5 FPS’ roster, we’re also getting Egypt-themed battle pass rewards, two new maps, Clash and 6 fan-favorite skins that are up for grabs!
Here’s everything you need to know about Overwatch 2 Season 12 rewards, skins and balance changes.
Overwatch 2 — Who Is Juno?
Juno is the 41st hero in Overwatch 2.
A mobile Support, Juno uses her Mediblaster to heal allies and whittle down opponents simultaneously (think Ana’s Biotic Rifle). On top of that, this bright-eyed Martian also provides tons of mobility and team-wide buffs to help your team get through any chokepoint!
OW2 fans got to try Juno for the first time during her free hero trial last month. And once Season 12 drops, Juno will be here to stay, as well as a couple of promised map reworks!
Overwatch 2 Season 12 New Maps
Temple of Anubis and Hanamura return to Overwatch 2 as completely reimagined maps in Season 12.
The first rework — renamed to “Throne of Anubis” — holds the powerful AI that orchestrated the Omnic Crisis. Sleek, futuristic and ominous, this new map will certainly set the stage for future story missions.
“Hanaoka” is the second map that’s here to stay, with all the cherry blossoms, familiar street corners and post-modern buildings that we saw in past Clash playtests. The new game mode is something to look forward to, especially if you’re into more streamlined action.
Season 12 Battle Pass — What’s New?
The premium battle pass for Season 12 offers a new line of sleek explorer gear themed for the ancient dunes.
Here are the biggest rewards you can get from this season’s paid track:
- Mythic Anubis Reaper
- Midnight Sun Ana Weapon Skin
- x80 Mythic Prisms
- Bast Doomfist
- Oni Ana
- Thoth Illari
- Dorothy Ashe
- Captain Sigma
- 20% XP boost (Season 12)

How To Get Free Skins in Season 12
Overwatch 2 is coming to the Xbox Game Pass on September 17! And to encourage players to install the game, Blizzard-Activision is doing their biggest giveaway yet!

Overwatch 2 Season 12 Competitive Reset
It’s worth noting that a competitive reset is taking place in Season 12, making this season the perfect time to get back on the grind.
Besides rank resets, certain heroes are also set to receive nerfs soon.
Mobile heroes were seen as too dominant in recent metas. As a result, Damage and Support heroes are going to get HP nerfs very soon except for Lifeweaver, who’ll get changes to his entire kit.
