Blizzard announced 29th Overwatch hero, Ashe, at BlizzCon 2018 today. She’s an old friend of gunslinger McCree, and we saw the pair have an emotionally-charged – and very entertaining – reunion in a gorgeous new animated short. We also saw another hero, called Echo, but learnt nothing more. When will they both be released? Is Echo who we know as Athena, the AI voice in our ears? And is Echo really the character we saw on that piece of art before Overwatch even released?
Armed with those questions – and many more – I sat down with game director Jeff Kaplan to get some answers.
When can we play Ashe on the Public Test Realm?
