Overwatch’s newest hero, Orisa, revealed

There’s a full video from Director Jeff Kaplan, too. It turns out, Doomfist is a villain, and Orisa is built to combat. Yep, Doomfist and Orisa are linked. That is awesome.

Here’s the clip from Kaplan. He describes her backstory and her abilities.

“We were looking at our tank lineup,” Kaplan explains, “and we have heroes like D.Va and Winston who are much more disruptive tanking. They’re much more defined by their mobility. They like to get in, they like to get out. They don’t stay in one place for too long…”

Kaplan says Blizzard started to describe Reinhardt internally as an “anchor tank.” “What we mean by that,” he says, “is that Reinhardt almost anchors the entire team.” They felt like players needed more options in that role “We wanted another tank that teams could build around and position around.”

Thus, Orisa.

Orisa is live on the PC PTR right now!
