Overwatch has an all-new hero: Orisa. The tank class character sports a weapon named the Fusion Driver, an automatic firearm that deals consistent damage but slows her movement speed. Her alt is Halt, a kind of charge that decelerates enemies and draws them towards the explosion. She also has abilities which reduce the amount of damage she takes, either in the form of immunity or via a barrier that she can deploy on the battlefield. Meanwhile, her ultimate – which is imaginatively named Supercharger – is a device that can be deployed to buff any damage done by teammates within its line of sight, though it can be destroyed by the opposition.
Orisa's playable now in the PC public test realm, and will presumably roll out on the PlayStation 4 shortly thereafter. Her origin story is embedded above, while you can find out more about the character on Blizzard's official website.

What about the new Injustice 2 trailer?
Now this is more like it from Blizzard, tease the character for a week then announce it.
She seems to be a typical tank like Reinhart, who are their to push a team forward whereas Winston and D'Va are more offensive.
Plus I'm calling it...Doomfist to be revealed at this year's Blizzcon.
@Xaessya Blizzard has nothing to do with Injustice 2, that's Netherrealm.
I haven't played Overwatch for about a month now. Might be a good time to go back.
I haven't played Overwatch since the last event. The addition of a new hero is always a good excuse to jump back in.
@Xaessya are you talking about the Doctor Fate trailer? If so, there was an article about it earlier today.
@adf86 Wasn't there some backlash for how they handled Sombra's reveal? Maybe that's why Blizzard opted not to reveal the new hero until it was almost ready.
@F-racsO Yeah this is why I find it much better, get fans speculating for a couple of weeks then announce it.
I'm still waiting on the Diablo 3 Necromancer class Blizzard. I haven't forgot.
Too many games to play, and now this?! Which means I'll be back and spending more time playing OW again.
I've been playing her lately and like her ult but feel like they need more offensive heroes. and @Bliquid it does feel like every character has an agenda i agree
