Overwatch’s new hero is Ashe

Blizzard Entertainment announced Overwatch‘s 29th playable character during the opening ceremonies for its BlizzCon event in Anaheim, California today. Ashe is the new hero, and she’s a member of the gang that the cowboy McCree used to ride with.

Overwatch launched in May 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and it has reached over 40 million players. It’s the most popular team-based shooter, ahead of competitors like Paladins. To keep its fans playing, Blizzard releases a steady stream of new content. New heroes don’t just give Overwatch fans a new character to try, but they can change the balance of the game which makes it fresh for casual and competitive players.
