Blizzard has revealed a new Overwatch hero called Ana

Combines healer and sniper qualities.
Bengt Lemne 12 July 2016

Who would become the first post-launch character to be added to the Overwatch roster is something fans have been speculating about and Blizzard teased the announcement earlier in the week. Ana is a character that has been rumoured and now it has been confirmed that she will join the game at some point in the not so distant future.

Ana is the mother of Pharah and what is perhaps most interesting about her is the fact that she can use her sniper rifle to both pick off enemies and heal team mates. A skilled Ana player could certainly make a huge impact on any match. She also carries grenades that can both do damage and heal team mates.

She has interesting abilites that lets her prevent enemies from getting healed (for a limited time), and she can cancel the ultimates of enemies by putting them to sleep with a dart gun.

Her ultimate ability is also very much focus on the team as it turns all team mates into super soldiers who can run faster, deal more damage and also absorb more damage.

Below is a Origin Story trailer as well as a brief gameplay trailer showcasing Ana.
