Overwatch 2 hero Wuyang leaked abilities and release date

Overwatch 2 continues to release new updates to ensure players continue to return, and Season 18 is slated to be no different. In addition to the season’s mythic skin, Blizzard has informed fans about the newest hero to join the roster in that season, Wuyang.

Not much is known about Wuyang yet aside from his look and general abilities, but we’re here to take things a step further. A reliable leaker has potentially leaked the character’s entire moveset, and we’re here to go through everything here.

So, if you’re also anticipating new news about Overwatch 2’s Wuyang, you’re at the right place.

Who is Wuyang in Overwatch 2?

Wuyang will be the newest hero in Overwatch 2, arriving sometime during Season 18. He’ll be the 44th character added to the game, though Blizzard hasn’t shared many details yet. We do know a few things. Like Hazard and Freja, Wuyang will be playable in a temporary hero trial during Season 17 on August 14. His full release is planned for Fall 2025.

Originally shown as “Codename: Aqua,” Wuyang is confirmed to be a Support hero from China. He uses water-based abilities, though Blizzard hasn’t shown exactly what they look like yet. Senior Narrative Designer Jude Stacey said Wuyang has “one of the most unique ability sets” they’ve ever created.

What are Wuyang’s abilities in Overwatch 2?

While Wuyang’s abilities haven’t officially been revealed by Blizzard, that didn’t stop data miners and leakers from leaking his enture ability set. Below is what you can expect from Wuyang ahead of his August 14 trial period.

Primary Weapon – Xuanwu Staff

Fires a small water orb that damages enemies. You can hold it to guide the orb and make its explosion stronger.

Secondary Fire – Restorative Stream

Places a healing stream on an ally. If you keep aiming at them, the healing gets stronger but uses up your energy.

Abilities

• Guardian Wave: Sends a wave of water forward. It boosts healing for teammates and pushes enemies back.
• Rushing Torrent: Lets you ride a stream of water. You move faster and can jump higher while doing so.

Ultimate – Tidal Blast

Covers an ally or yourself in protective water. After a short time, it explodes, healing the target and knocking down nearby enemies.

Passive – Support Role

Wuyang heals faster over time when not taking damage.

Minor Perks

• Overflow: Gain extra ammo and healing energy when using Rushing Torrent.
• Balance: Damaging enemies with your water orbs temporarily boosts your passive healing stream.

Major Perks

• Ebb and Flow: Guardian Wave comes back to where it started. It deals less damage while returning.
• Falling Rain: Lets you control three water orbs at once, but they deal less damage and have smaller explosions.
