Blizzard just dropped an origin story video on YouTube for the new Overwatch Hero 31, Sigma. The hand-drawn, animated video explains Sigma’s origin as a scientist and his descent into madness. There’s even a glimpse at Sigma’s in-game character model at the end of the trailer, which several hints about his abilities. You can watch the full Sigma origin story below on YouTube.

</p><h2>Overwatch Hero 31 and Class</h2><p>Throughout the video, you can hear Sigma talk about black holes and gravity, which will obviously be tied to his in-game abilities somehow. We still don’t know much about how Sigma will actually play, but there are several hints dropped in the video. First, Sigma looks like he’s mimicking a conductor of music at the end of the trailer. He waves his hand around like he’s holding a baton and conducting an invisible orchestra. This leads me to believe that music might play a role in his combat or at least that it will inspire his voice lines and emotes. Second, we can see him levitating a couple of metal objects that materialize out of nothing. These could be used for damage or they could be manipulated into a shield of some sort. We still don’t know any concrete details, so we can only guess.</p><p>As for his role, it’s possible that Sigma could be a tank class or even support class, but we still have yet to receive a confirmation either way. I don’t think he will be a damage class due to Ashe already filling that role and the sheer number of DPS characters we already have in <em>Overwatch</em>. Although we don’t have a release date for Sigma, Blizzard teases that he will be “coming soon.” <a href="https://sickcritic.com/2019/07/11/overwatch-developer-update-july-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeff Kaplan previously teased</a> that it would take a little longer for Hero 31 to appear, so we’ll just have to wait and see.</p><div class="saboxplugin-wrap" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="" itemprop="author"><div class="saboxplugin-gravatar"><img decoding="async" alt="" src="//sickcritic.com/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src="https://graph.facebook.com/1710525175626206/picture?width=150&height=150" class="lazy lazy-hidden avatar avatar-wordpress-social-login avatar-100 photo" height="100" width="100" /><noscript><img decoding="async" alt="" src="https://graph.facebook.com/1710525175626206/picture?width=150&height=150" class="avatar avatar-wordpress-social-login avatar-100 photo" height="100" width="100" /></noscript></div><div class="saboxplugin-authorname"><a href="https://sickcritic.com/author/nathanael_hueso/" class="vcard author" rel="author" itemprop="url"><span class="fn" itemprop="name">Nathanael Hueso</span></a></div><div class="saboxplugin-desc"><div itemprop="description"><p>Word player, note manipulator, and logic breaker.
