Overwatch dropped its 27th hero and she's a new support with a big 'ol hammer and shield. 

Anticipation for Brigitte was jumpstarted on February 22, when Jeff Kaplan, Overwatch lead and game director, was asked for hints about a new hero on the game's forum. The subsequent "Operation 'White Dome'" teaser alluded to a battle where Reindhart lost an eye and Torbjorn last his left arm to Omnics in Istanbul. A second teaser, a canonical letter from Torbjorn to his wife, fans learned that Reindhart would receive a medal of bravery for saving Torb, who begrudgingly named Reignhardt godfather of his unborn daughter.
