We’ve reached the final known hero available for gameplay previews, Zarya.

Zarya is a tank hero who wields a Particle Cannon which unleashes a short-range beam of destructive energy. She can also use it to fire an explosive charge a short distance to damage multiple targets at once.

Along with her cannon, Zarya is able to activate a personal shield which absorbs incoming damage and redirects its energy to empower her weapon. This shield can also be deployed on a friendly target to achieve the same result.

Her Ultimate ability, called Gravitron Surge, allows her to launch a gravity bomb at a group of enemies. This bomb pulls enemies to its location, immobilizes them temporarily and deals damage while they are trapped.

Check out the description and full gameplay preview video below. As with previous videos, you’ll want to watch in 1080p HD for the best viewing experience.

Zarya guards her allies in this complete, unedited match from an early version of Overwatch, captured in 60fps on PC. Here, Zarya plays on the defending team in the Temple of Anubis, a Point Capture map located on the enigmatic Giza Plateau.

Now that we’ve seen the last of the available heroes gameplay previews, what do you think we’ll see next? Map previews, additional hero reveals, or something else?
