And there’s a concept floating around for a character called «Oranga-tank».
You wouldn’t know it to hear it, but decorated video game actor Jennifer Hale — famously the voice of Mass Effect’s Commander Shepard — is the person providing the meows of new Overwatch hero Jetpack Cat.
Blizzard confirmed this at its headquarters last week while detailing Jetpack Cat and the four other heroes coming to Overwatch (formerly known as «Overwatch 2») next week. «The voice actor is Jennifer Hale», audio and technical director Scott Lawson told a group of press that I was in, «and she did an incredible job, and working with it was so much fun.»
Note that Hale already voices another Overwatch hero, gunslinger Ashe, who was added to the game in November 2018.
Jetpack Cat has been a rumoured hero for Overwatch for a long time, and she finally arrives alongside four other new heroes on 10th February with the game-changing ability to tow other characters through the air. She can do this to both allies and enemies, though doing it to enemies requires using her Ultimate.
I’ve played her; she’s great fun. Very manoeuvrable, very fast, and with some useful healing abilities for supporting diving or flanking characters, not to mention the ability to pick up slower heroes from base or airlift Bastion in chaingunning form over groups of enemies.
