With rumors circulating for months about a potential new playable character on Overwatch, a gameplay trailer reveals the brand-new hero, Ana.

Players from around the world have been anticipating the reveal of the brand-new playable hero. There have been many hints throughout the game and the developers themselves have been teasing the new character. To see all those details, check this out.

Now, it has officially been confirmed that the new playable character is Ana. Although we originally thought that the new character was named Sombra, since that’s what all the hints and details pointed to, that doesn’t seem to be the case. IGN has some details about the new character, including the way she will play and her origin story.

Ana has a very particular skill-set. From all the rumors and hints that were detailed, it’s obvious that Ana is a sniper, but she has many other tools at her disposal. Her weapon is called a Biotic Rifle, which can heal her teammates, but can also damage enemies from long range. She also has a weapon known as the Sleep Dart, which knocks out her enemies for a period of time.

She has other abilities, such as a Biotic Grenade, which heals her teammates, but can also prevent enemies from being healed if they’re close to the grenade. Lastly, her ultimate is called a Nano Boost, which benefits herself and her teammates by enhancing things such as movement speed and increased damage. All around, Ana seems to be a great support hero.

Being the mother of Pharah, she will be joining the list of 21 playable characters that are already a part of Overwatch.
