It’s unclear if her daughter, Pharah, knew whether or not her mother was alive all this time.Īs an older woman, Ana breaks a lot of molds for what kind of characters are typically playable in combat games like Overwatch.

Unfortunately a sniper duel with Overwatch’s other resident sharpshooter, Widowmaker, left her one-eyed and left for dead. As an original member of Overwatch, Ana used to be a deadly sniper who fought along other heroes like Reinhardt, Mercy, and McCree, as well as Soldier 76 and Reaper back before they traded in their names to be called something like “Reaper”. As predicted by some fans of the game, Ana is the mother of another Overwatch hero, Pharah. Two trailers were released today, one that shows off Ana’s various abilities, and a cinematic origins trailer t fleshes out her backstory. Players will get a chance to play as the new support character Ana, an aged soldier who heals her teammates and murders her enemies with the same sniper rifle.

Blizzard unveiled the first new character for Overwatch today, and she is further proof that the company stands by its mission to bring a little character diversity to its hit game.
