A new blog post on Battle.net has teased Mei, an Overwatch character of Chinese descent who seems to have control over the cold.
Mei is a scientist investigating "abnormal climate phenomena and their effects on different ecosystems around the world," which, she says, is less boring than it sounds.

"I've been here in the Yukon, near Mount Logan, field-testing my new gear," Mei writes. "I've recovered from some early "issues" (my arm still hurts from being frozen solid a few days ago… so embarrassing!), and everything is in good working order. Look on the bright side: now that I've tested the equipment on myself, I'm not worried about using it on all the cute animals I want to study!"
Currently Blizzard hasn't released any images of the character but we may expect a proper reveal at Blizzcon this weekend.
The developer recently announced Hana Song, a Korean Starcraft eSports player as a character for the game. Overwatch is currently bound for PC but it may be on its way to PS4 and Xbox One before long.
