Blizzard Entertainment finally announced when Echo will make its entrance into Overwatch's huge hero park, namely the April 14 2020. Since its release in May 2016, the hybrid title halfway between a moba and a first-person shooter, has reached well 50 millions of players, and adding new members to the roster is certainly the best way to keep the community active. The arrival of the new hero was communicated via the official account Twitter:
Following the flight plan.

Echo is yet another new entry, arrived in the game after the tank Sigma (released instead in July 2019), and broke a record, given the time that fans had to wait for the arrival of the new hero, certainly justified by the fact that the developers are also at work for the second chapter of the video game.
But what are the characteristics of this new character? The description given by the official Overwatch website is:
Echo is an evolutionary robot equipped with adaptive artificial intelligence, versatile enough to be able to take on various roles in combat situations.
It will be a attack hero, capable of hovering in the air and attacking both quickly and using bombs, although his best weapon is definitely his Ultra, duplication, which will allow her to "become" the copy of an enemy hero not only in appearance, but also in abilities. We remind our readers that Echo will be the last hero to be released for this first iteration of the brand.
