New Overwatch Character Doomfist Now Available to Play


A "highly-mobile" three-star difficulty offense hero.

Doomfist, the long-awaited, cybernetically-enhanced Overwatch villain officially announced earlier this month, is now available as a playable hero in Overwatch on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The announcement was posted on Overwatch's official Twitter page along with a sizzle reel showing off the new hero in action.

He has been available in the Public Test Region since July 6.

A "highly-mobile" offense hero according to Blizzard, Doomfist boasts a handful of ranged and melee abilities. His primary fire is the Hand Cannon, a shotgun-like short-range burst with regenerating ammo.

His Seismic Slam ability allows him to crash into the ground and knock down nearby opponents, while Rising Uppercut lets him send enemies flying into the air. Rocket Punch requires a brief charge before knocking enemies back, with additional damage dealt if they fly into a wall.

With his ultimate, Meteor Strike, Doomfist flies into the air before crashing back down. He also has a passive ability that lets him generate +30 personal shield barriers on himself for each enemy hit by his abilities — or +75 for enemies damaged by his ultimate.

You can read more about Doomfist's abilities on his official Overwatch page.

His origin story and current role in the Overwatch universe were also detailed in an animated video that debuted earlier this month.
