Overwatch 2 continues to do reworks of their former heroes. The goal always being to make these heroes more exciting along with fulfilling their role better. They have done so for a few heroes so far and are now adding to Roadhog. Here is a look at the Overwatch 2 Roadhog Rework Abilities.

Below is a look at all of the abilities Roadhog will be keeping and adding in Overwatch 2.
Weapon- Scrap Gun
Short-ranged spread weapon with a medium-range shrapnel volley.
Ability 1- Pig Pen
Launch a trap that slows and damages nearby enemies.
Ability 2- Chain Hook
Drag a targeted enemy to you.
Ability 3- Take a Breather
Heal yourself and reduce damage taken.
Ultimate- Whole Hog
Damage and knock back enemies in front of you.
So not much is changing here for Roadhog. They are giving him more CC by giving him something similar to Junkrat’s own trap. It is a bit surprising considering they have been hyping up this rework for some time. It will certainly make it so that Roadhog can combo at a higher level.
He will lay a trap, grip someone into it, melee attack and then shoot them. It will likely be more effective against tanks than anything else as he already can one-shot combo most DPS and healers.
Fans will likely be disappointed as this does not look to be all that new. If anything it will end up being the most basic rework yet. The only reason the devs may get some slack on this one is that they have made changes to his hook and ultimate in the more recent past.
The Overwatch 2 Roadhog Rework Release Date will be coming sometime in December. They have stated that he was not ready to be released with the new season. Instead, he will be released during the middle of Season 7 right around the week of November 13 or November 14, 2023.
