Overwatch Sigma

Overwatch Adds A New Tank Hero: Meet Sigma

“Gravity is a harness… I have harnessed the harness.”

Blizzard Entertainment has introduced the newest hero to join Overwatch. Meet Sigma.

Sigma was once a kind and brilliant scientist, until an experiment gone wrong left him irreparably changed. During that tragic incident, Sigma sustained serious psychological damage but gained the ability to manipulate gravity on a whim. After being deemed a threat to humanity and languishing for years in a secret government facility, Sigma was eventually freed by Talon and is now being used, unwittingly, as a living weapon…

Overwatch’s newest tank, Sigma, will shield teammates from harm, but if the enemy applies enough force – he shall apply it back!
