"Overwatch" is scheduled to introduce a new hero in the form of Orisa, another promising tank character. Blizzard Entertainment's successful first-person shooter is not only expected to grace the popular consoles of today, but also the hybrid Nintendo Switch-or at least such is what many would want.

As some may be aware of, "Overwatch" was made for the PC and the consoles, but as per Techno Buffalo, may not be too well received by the handheld-console hybrid. One of the reasons being looked at is the portable feat of the device, given that the game requires stable, consistent internet connection.

While this may all be at some point unappealing for "Overwatch" players, they can still look forward to the confirmed addition of the new tank, Orisa on March 21, 2017. The character was playable since the Public Test Realm, which occurred on March 2, as per Eurogamer, the character was created by a genius girl Efi Oladele for the protection of the Numbani from further attacks of Doomfist. It is designed as a tank that resembles a centaur, chock-full with great new abilities such as mid-range defense, producing barriers in different locations.

The "Overwatch" addition also dons a multi-rounded automatic weapon, along with her gravity ball that she can propel to pull enemies and detonate upon contact. The other abilities include the nullifying of Reinhardt charges, as well as her knockback and Fortify. Orisa's ultimate is one that many can say to be peculiar, as it shows what looks to be a massive magical drum that gives additional damage to allies within the immediate vicinity, as long as they are within sight. It is a vulnerable drum, which means it needs to be guarded if to prolong the effect to its peak.

"Overwatch" is considerably one of the most successful titles that Blizzard Entertainment still carries today. That being said, updates are bound to come consistently from characters to versions and bug fixes alike.
