Overwatch 2 Freja gameplay trailer

Freja's Overwatch 2 gameplay trailer is now live. Blizzard revealed this video of her on March 21 following the release of her hero trailer and comic in the same week. The timing makes sense since the Freja playtest kicks off today on March 21.

In her gameplay trailer, we can see Freja in action as she launches herself into the air with Updraft, uses Quick Dash, and makes the most out of her Revdraw Crossbow. The gameplay trailer shows Freja using Take Aim to attack Juno with an explosive and high-speed bolt as well.
