Overwatch: Orisa the Tank is the game’s newest hero

Overwatch‘s newest hero has been revealed as Orisa, a female Tank.

“Orisa serves as the central anchor of her team, and defends her teammates from the frontline with a protective barrier,” Blizzard says of the hero on her official page.

“She can attack from long range, fortify her own defenses, launch graviton charges to slow and move enemies, and deploy a Supercharger to boost the damage output of multiple allies at once.”

As expected, Orisa is the creation of young prodigy Efi Oladele, teased by Blizzard last week.

Orisa’s primary weapon is her Fusion Driver. That’s coupled with Fortify, a Protective Barrier, and her Ultimate, Supercharger.

Overwatch is available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4. Orisa is now available on Windows PC inside the game’s PTR.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
