Meet Valeria Rodrigeuz, the voice behind Venture in Overwatch 2

With the introduction of Venture in Overwatch 2, players have been greeted by the voice behind them: Valeria Rodriguez. Introduced in Season 10 of the game, the DPS hero boasts unique gameplay mechanics never seen before, such as digging underground. The Canadian archeologist is armed with a powerful drill and agility that makes them a menace on the battlefield.

Interestingly, Rodriguez also embodies their chaotic energy well and helps bring the hero to life in their own way. With that in mind, let's dive into the voice actor's background.

Valeria Rodriguez was born in Cancún, Mexico on November 5, in the year 2000. Despite being fairly underrated, they have starred in a variety of video games, including Lost Ark and Honkai Star Rail. Besides Venture, their biggest other role is undoubtedly Sucrose from Genshin Impact.

They also have an impressive voice work portfolio in the anime scene. This includes Panora in To Your Eternity and the Bullied Boy in Pluto. As such, it is likely new fans may have heard their voice before but couldn't put two and two together until now.

Venture has been described as a "chaos gremlin" by both developers and fans, as they are always on the lookout for archaeological findings. They also love eating rocks, making them a lovable oddball, and Valeria loves embodying that carefreeness.

This role could perhaps be seen as a dream come true for Rodriguez, as they have been a big Overwatch fan ever since the 2016 original. They have starred alongside various YouTubers and reiterated this fact, including that they primarily played the following characters back then: Lucio, Cassidy, Zenyatta, and Junkrat. With Overwatch 2, however, they have become a Venture main.

This is all players need to know about
