Blizzard on Venture Overwatch 2 Sexuality
The creative force behind Overwatch 2, Blizzard Entertainment, opened up in a blog, talking about the process behind creating Venture. Talking about arriving at Venture's distinct sexuality, it said, "To fit the archetype of an adventurous archaeologist, we wanted someone who was daring, passionate, and unabashedly themselves."
Venture has an overflowing passion for the world and the secrets that it holds. Blizzard believes that this is reflected in everything Venture does, from their animation, voice lines, and gameplay, to their sexuality and even their fashion sense.
The developers worked closely with a fashion company specializing in queer fashion to make Venture's character appear as authentic as possible, which is well reflected in Overwatch 2.
