As is custom for Blizzard, last month the company dropped a couple hints on Overwatch’s Twitter before announcing a new hero and immediately adding her to the public test realm.

As of March, Brigitte has been added to the game across all platforms.

Her reveal trailer showed her tinkering days as the oldest daughter of Torbjörn. With her father and godfather, Reinhardt, both being involved in the fight, the young girl follows in their footsteps and joins in.

Blizzard faced controversy when first developing the game in regards to the sexualization of female characters.

Bridgette is a new female character specializing in weapons as a skilled mechanical engineer.

Before Brigitte’s reveal, game director Jeff Kaplan had described the new character as someone who was “very needed.”

Brigitte is a support character blending offensive and defensive abilities. While specializing in armor work, she throws repair packs to help heal teammates, and her Flail is capable of a wide swing and capable of striking multiple targets.

When entering the fray, her Barrier Shield gives personal defense as she attacks enemies with Shield Bash. Brigitte’s ultimate ability, Rally, gives her a short-term boost of speed and provides long-lasting armor to all her nearby allies.

As the 27th character to the game, Brigitte is proving to be one that has a lot of potential and a lot of Overwatch fans excited to play.
