Overwatch's Robotic Hero Orisa Goes Live March 21st

At long last, Blizzard announced today that Overwatch's latest hero, the robotic Orisa, will be going live on March 21st. The announcement was made in the description for the New Hero Preview video embedded below.

Orisa's abilities are as follows.

  • Her main weapon is the "Fusion Driver," which is "an automatic gun with good range and accuracy even at a distance" that comes with the caveat that she moves slower while firing.
  • Her alternate weapon is "Halt!," a "graviton charge" that can be launched across the map, slowing all enemies that it passes and pulling them in upon detonation.
  • Her "Fortify" ability allows her to reduce the amount of damage she takes for a limited time.
  • Her "Protective Barrier" shields herself and teammates.
  • Her Ultimate ability, "Supercharger," gives nearby allies a temporary damage boost.

You can find more information about Orisa here. You can also try playing as her on the PTR now, should you be so inclined.
