"Overwatch" will have a new character added to their roster next week. The new character is named Orisa and her story is a touching one indeed. She is technically the youngest character in the game. Her skills are tank based and it is a useful one indeed. With a balance of tank abilities and offensive ones, she will be a force that should not be underestimated.

Orisa will be available next week on March 21 on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Much like an "anchor tank," as Blizzard calls her, she will be useful as allies rally with her together during team fights.

Orisa's abilities and skills

"Overwatch's" Orisa is a robot and has four legs. According to Engadget, she is a mix of Zarya and Reinhardt, which then proves her tank abilities with offensive ones. She is built by the young genius Efi Oladele, who resides in Numbani city. A video of the preview and making can be viewed below:

Her guns have two functions and these are the Halt and Fusion Driver. Fusion Driver is a long-range machine gun while Halt is an ability that allows Orisa to shoot a gravity ball/graviton charges, which pull nearby enemies. Halt is a useful ability during team fights, especially on agile characters such as Genji. Orisa's skin in "Overwatch" are revealed on Polygon's report.

Clues, hints, and changes on the map of the city of Numbani

In line with Orisa's creator, who lives in Numbani city, small yet significant changes can be found that hints her coming on "Overwatch." According to PCGamer, the game's PTR has been updated with changes. First, Doomfist's gauntlet has disappeared while the airport terminal is filled with OR15 robot debris.
