It makes sense that if you’re expanding your popular team-based shooter, you’ll want to introduce a character who punches really, really hard. Actually, it doesn’t make that much sense, but Overwatch is a game with giant intelligent apes and techno-angels, so everyone just rolls with this sort of thing.
Indeed, Doomfist has been officially confirmed as the next playable hero for Overwatch after a string of teases and rumors. The character looks to be a fast-moving, heavyweight figher: “Doomfist’s cybernetics make him a highly-mobile, powerful frontline fighter. In addition to dealing ranged damage with his hand cannon, Doomfist can slam the ground, knock enemies into the air and off balance, or charge into the fray with his rocket punch.”
You can try him out on the test server right now, but you might want to prepare yourself for Doomfist’s punch of awesomeness by watching his introduction video first!
