Blizzard has taken to Twitter and dropped a bombshell of news for their critically acclaimed multiplayer shooter title, Overwatch.

In addition to the announcement of the 32nd character, who’s name is Echo, Blizzard went on to release a origin trialer for the character.

IF you’re a fan of Overwatch then you’ll already know that all these characters have a unique backstory and that makes them special. Echo is no different, as she has her own story, reasons, and some very unique powers.
