Juno has finally landed in Overwatch 2, and players are jumping into battle with her, gliding  through tricky team fights and blasting off to light speed with her unique kit. You’ve watched her hero trailer, checked out her comic, and seen her in action, but let’s take a unique look with concept artist Daryl Tan and lead narrative designer Miranda Moyer to see how Juno’s story came to life.

What was the general idea behind making Juno?

Daryl Tan: The hero team had plans to introduce a Support hero that was fast, agile, and had a hitscan-like weapon, so that is where we explored the idea of a space-themed hero.  Juno was heavily designed through the gameplay kit, which helped inspire the fantasy of what this hero would look like.

Hey y’all, Alec here. This week’s Director’s Take will be a small reflection on the first half of Season 12 with the release of Juno and Clash, as well as a brief look at some tweaks coming in the Midseason Patch and beyond.

Checking in on Juno

Let’s start with Juno! Honestly, it’s been such a joy seeing the community fall in love with our favorite Martian. We started on her prototype early last year and went through many iterations to get to the Juno you see today. Heck, we were still a little worried about a lock-on damage ability but y’all have seemed to acclimate well to combating her Pulsar Torpedoes.  Since that first round of buffs shortly after her launch, Juno has remained in that “safe side of strong” zone we aim for. While Juno finds success in most modes, she does particularly well on Payload and Hybrid maps such as Circuit Royal, King’s Row, and Blizzard World. This is quite different than a hero like Lúcio, whose best mode...
