Juno — Lore, Abilities, Age
Juno is the newest hero in Overwatch 2, known for her incredible mobility and adorable design. Here is all you need to know about Overwatch 2's Juno.
Juno Backstory and Lore
Juno, or Juno Teo Minh, was born on Mars as part of Project Red Promise, Lucheng Interstellar's secret multi-stage plan to terraform the red planet. The project became too dangerous for Juno due to dust storms so she was sent to Earth but her goal has always been to save her home and family back on Mars.
The first person ever born on Mars, Juno has always been adventurous and curious. But she also had a passion for helping others, so she joined the Red Promise Team. She was devastated when sent to Earth but decided she wanted to find climatologist and old friend Dr. Mei Ling Zhou, hoping she would be able to send her home.
How Old Is Juno in Overwatch 2?
Juno is said to be around 19 to 22 years old. Let's hope that actually fits into Overwatch 2's timeline and doesn't cause an uproar with the playerbase, like when Kirko and Genji appeared in photos together as kids despite them being 20 years apart.
