In keeping with the trend over the last few weeks, Blizzard has released a new gameplay preview for a hero from their upcoming title: Overwatch.

Today’s featured hero is Reinhardt Wilhelm.

Reinhardt is a melee hero who swings his Rocket Hammer in a wide arc, dealing significant damage. He can also put up a shield to protect himself and his allies from a single direction, but while this shield is up he cannot attack. Reinhardt is also able to charge his enemies and pick them up, dealing extreme damage if he runs them into a wall. He can also fire a flaming projectile from his hammer by whipping his Rocket Hammer forward which pierces and damages enemies.

His ultimate ability is Earthshatter, where he slams his hammer to the ground to briefly knock down enemies in front of him and deal damage.

As with previous gameplay previews, you’ll want to watch in 1080p HD to get the best viewing experience.

Reinhardt charges hammer-first into battle in this unedited match from an early version of Overwatch, captured in 60fps on PC. Here, Reinhardt is on the defense in King’s Row, a Point Capture/Payload hybrid map situated in the heart of England. Learn more about Reinhardt:http://blizz.ly/MeetReinhardt
