Doomfist Slams Into Overwatch Public Test Servers
Blizzard Entertainment has been dropping hints over the past few months on who the next Overwatch hero will be. Turns out that the rumors are indeed true. The studio has officially confirmed that Doomfist will be the next character to join Overwatch’s ranks.
“Doomfist’s cybernetics make him a highly-mobile, powerful frontline fighter. In addition to dealing ranged damage with his Hand Cannon, Doomfist can slam the ground, knock enemies into the air and off balance, or charge into the fray with his Rocket Punch. When facing a tightly packed group, Doomfist leaps out of view, then crashes down to earth with a spectacular Meteor Strike.”
Unfortunately, (you might want to sit down for this) Doomfist will not be voiced by Terry Crews. *sobs* The honor goes to Sahr Ngaujah who played Julian Serrat in the TV series Last Resort and Harold in the 2007 movie Stomp the Yard.
Doomfist is now playable in the Public Test Regions. Jeff Kaplan talks about rhe newest addition to the Overwatch roster in the video after the break. We’ve also included Doomfist’s origin story right after that. You can also smash your way over to the Overwatch official site for more info.
