The 32nd character in the game, an omnic robot full of mystery and built through cutting-edge technology. First video trailer.
Blizzard Entertainment has officially introduced Echo, their new Overwatch heroine. What will be the 32nd character in the game already has its own presentation trailer and official trailer. Let's learn a little more about this new unit, a robot made by an Overwatch member to "help the world".
The current description of Echo is quite brief, since at this time Blizzard only urges us to the video that we see in the news. It will not be for a few hours when we hope to access the information broken down from the official portal. As it is said: "it is an evolutionary robot whose programming is an artificial intelligence capable of adapting quickly". Also, "Echo represents cutting-edge technology."
In a sequence of the video we can see Soldier 76 quite young with his creator, Mina Liao, who has also participated in the creation of Echo. We don't know when this new heroine will be available in Overwatch, but hopefully it will do so sometime in the next few weeks or months at the latest.
Already warned by Jeff Kaplan: Overwatch would receive at least one new hero before Overwatch 2 goes on sale. He indicated this in November, when Sojourn was introduced to the world.
Overwatch 2, the next big project in the saga
Meanwhile, Blizzard continues to work on its next major project related to this saga, Overwatch 2. The North American company ensures that the game will be "a complete experience" by including a PvE campaign mode, which will not feel like a short or unfinished experience, It is intended to become a sequel with all the guarantees. This story mode will explore the lore of the saga in several ways. "Current Overwatch players will battle side by side with Overwatch 2 players in multiplayer PvP games," Kaplan said.
Overwatch 2 is currently in development for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch, but has no release date. There is still no mention of PS5 and Xbox Series X.
