The Release Date for Doomfist Has Been Announced
The wait is over at long last as all Overwatch fans will get to play Doomfist later this month! Today Blizzard Entertainment released a brand new preview for the latest hero, and they confirmed that Doomfist will be out for live servers on all platforms in just a short time.
The preview of the hero looks at why Doomfist is so special, showing of his creation and his role in the story of Overwatch. As many of you who have been following the news of this latest and greatest character know, he isn’t really like the other attack heroes in the game. In fact, he’s so different because he is a close ranged hero, with a powerful fist. You can check out the full list of abilities below.
Hand Cannon
- Doomfist fires a short-range burst from the knuckles of his fist. Its ammunition is automatically regenerated over a short time.
Seismic Slam
- Doomfist leaps forward and smashes into the ground, knocking nearby enemies toward him.
Rising Uppercut
- Doomfist uppercuts enemies in front of him into the air.
Rocket Punch
- After charging up, Doomfist lunges forward and knocks an enemy back, dealing additional damage if they impact a wall.
The Best Defense
- Doomfist generates temporary personal shields when he deals ability damage.
Meteor Strike
- Doomfist leaps into the sky, then crashes to the ground, dealing significant damage.
Now Blizzard has announced that Doomfist will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in just 9 short days, on July 27th! He has been available in a Public Test Region for PC since July 6th, and has proven to be quite strong already. You can check out the preview Blizzard released earlier today down below.
