New Overwatch Character Brigitte Announced

Blizzard Entertainment has announced the next playable Overwatch hero. The game’s 27th character, Brigitte, was announced.

Players will be able to test her out on the Public Test Region for the PC version of the game. Featured above, you can view a new trailer introducing the Swedish combatant.

Here’s a rundown on what she’s like:



Brigitte specializes in armor. She can throw Repair Packs to heal teammates, or automatically heal nearby allies when she damages foes with her Flail. Her Flail is capable of a wide swing to strike multiple targets, or a Whip Shot that stuns an enemy at range. When entering the fray, Barrier Shield provides personal defense while she attacks enemies with Shield Bash. Brigitte’s ultimate ability, Rally, gives her a substantial short-term boost of speed and provides long-lasting armor to all her nearby allies.

Abilities:

  • ROCKET FLAIL
    Brigitte’s melee weapon has an extended range, enabling her to strike multiple enemies with a single swing.
  • REPAIR PACK
    Brigitte throws a Repair Pack that can heal an ally. Any healing over that ally’s maximum health provides them with armor instead.
  • WHIP SHOT
    Brigitte throws her flail a long distance, dealing damage and knocking an enemy away from her.
  • BARRIER SHIELD
    Brigitte deploys a frontal energy barrier to absorb a limited amount of damage.
  • SHIELD BASH
    Once her Barrier Shield is deployed, Brigitte can dash forward to stun an enemy.
  • RALLY
    Brigitte moves faster and provides all nearby allies with armor that lasts until it’s removed by damage.
