Meet Echo!

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

Yes, as you can tell from the headline, a brand new character has entered the Overwatch roster. Becoming the 32nd playable character, Overwatch fans have been blindsided by the surprise announcement. 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.
