After a weekend of teasers, Blizzard has finally announced Overwatch's 31st hero: Sigma.

The reveal comes in the form of an intriguing origin story trailer that shows how the "eccentric astrophysicist" has driven himself mad in an attempt to unlock the secrets of the universe. "Gravity is a harness," Sigma says at the end of the trailer. "I have harnessed the harness."

It's certainly a trippy trailer, but one thing is clear: Sigma will have unprecedented power.



At the end of the trailer, Sigma is seen standing alongside Widowmaker, Sombra, Moira, and other members of Talon organization, suggesting he's an evil character. However, as Blizzard teases, Sigma is "unaware that he is being used as a living weapon."

Sigma does not yet have a release window. Game director Jeff Kaplan said he would be released "a little later than you're used to," adding the team is spending "a little bit of extra time to make the hero even more awesome."

Hopefully we get to see his abilities soon at the very least.
