Overwatch 2 Orisa Rework Officially Revealed

With the Overwatch 2 Beta only a week away, the Overwatch team has slowly unveiled new characters for the upcoming game. Last week players watched a Q&A session on Sojourn, followed by a short Developer Update that highlighted her abilites and play style. Out of the blue, players received another update to one of the games most problematic characters. Shortly after the reveal of Doomfist’s rework on Wednesday April 20, the Overwatch Twitter account unveiled the new Overwatch 2 Orisa rework.

Orisa in her current state has always been tricky to balance, and now the Overwatch devs have a chance to right their past wrongs with Orisa 2.0.

Orisa’s Overwatch 2 kit is aiming to completely revamp the bunker-style tank. No longer will she stay behind a shield and fire away, Orisa will need to step up and hold the front line.

• Projectiles start large and shrink down
• Uses a heat mechanic instead of ammo

Energy Javelin

Orisa is trading in her shield for a fancy new javelin. Players are sure to enjoy the more proactive version of Orisa in Overwatch 2. At least, throwing a giant spear at enemies is sure to create some laughs during the game.
