There’s been quite a bit of speculation regarding the next playable character to join Overwatch‘s colorful roster of heroes. Many speculated it would be a character known as Sombra, who’s been teased in a few official documents. Instead, we’re getting badass veteran sniper Ana Amari, Overwatch OG and mother to “Justice Rains From Above” Pharah.
Above, you can see Ana’s combat abilities in action, alternating between long-range offense and support. She can eliminate opponents with a headshot, or she can heal allies with… special… healing bullets…? Anyway, she can also replenish shields and tranquilize her targets, and she looks frankly amazing while doing it.
Below, a video showcasing Ana’s backstory and a preview of several of her alternate costume skins. Blizzard hasn’t provided an official date for Ana’s debut in-game, only that it will be “soon.” In the meantime, let the shipping begin!
