Orisa is Overwatch's 24th hero

After an entire week of teasers and rumors Blizzard has finally revealed Overwatch's 24th hero. As you can probably guess from the title alone, its going to be an Omnic tank by the name of Orisa. With very low mobility and a variety of ways to soak up damage it appears she's going to compete with Reinhardt for the spot of 'main tank', though whether she's going to work equally well on defense and offense is still up for debate.

If you're interested in learning more about Orisa (OR15-A) you'll find the recently posted Developer Update right below. But if you just want the short version, her hero profile page is now available on the Overwatch website. Anyway, here's the video:

Orisa is currently available for play on the Overwatch PTR, so if you want to give her a shot you don't have to wait until next week. To enter the PTR all you need to do is change the server region from your default one to the PTR, and then just wait out the download. Do bear in mind that the PTR is currently only available for the PC, though the developers are working on bringing it to the consoles in the future as well. 

And finally, here's the full set of rather brief patch notes from the PTR, and yes, there is a Bastion nerf in there! Here's the list:
