Blizzard has released a gameplay preview for the newest character introduced to the Overwatch universe: Lúcio.

Lúcio is a freedom-fighting DJ wielding a Sonic Amplifier which can be used to heal his companions and provide a temporary speed boost as long as they’re in range. He can also create a Sound Barrier which acts as a shield for himself and his allies.

Check out a full match featuring Lúcio below and let us know what you think of Overwatch’s newest hero in the comments.

Armed with his signature Sonic Amplifier, Lúcio never misses a beat in this complete, unedited match from an early version of Overwatch, captured in 60 FPS on PC. Here, Lúcio plays on the attacking team in Numbani, a hybrid Point Capture/Payload map set in a utopian city on the edge of the African savanna.

As with other gameplay previews you’ll want to watch this in 1080p HD to get the best view of the new character and map.
