I happen to live with a relatively serious Overwatch player, and let me tell you, he was not remotely concerned about the fact that Blizzard flat out said it wasn’t announcing a new map today at BlizzCon. What he cares about is new heroes, and I can’t wait for him to get home and see that I’ve invested heavily in Lucio-Ohs.
Just kidding. As revealed during the opening ceremony earlier this afternoon, Ashe is the game’s 29th character and the new toon on the scene, along with her trusty robot butler B.O.B., who is kind of stealing the show. By the way, Ashe is voiced by the absolutely epic Jennifer Hale.
Check out the new animated short, Reunion, which ostensibly features McCree but introduces Ashe and B.O.B. too. They weren’t kidding about B.O.B. being her ult.
So damn good.
I think this is technically a 2-Hero reveal, with the other being worked on at a slower rate than Ashe. The mystery bot that McCree resurrected from the payload will most likely be the next release. Possibly a healer type again? I doubt a tank. Similar to how they did Orisa tied in with Doomfist in the same lead up before each.
I had to laugh at myself. Yes, at me. While watching the Ashe trailer, I couldn’t stop myself from thinking, “Shepard? Is that you?”
(Should?) I feel bad that I had to look her name up on Wikipedia. *sheepish look*
You should! <3
I am terrible with voice actors and knowing their actual names. :(
This was the only bit I was interested in not excited but I am always interested in new heroes for Overwatch.
