Blizzard certainly loves its diminutive warriors. So why shouldn't Overwatch have its own dwarf character? Torbjörn may have the shortest stature among his peers, but he more than makes up for that with his capabilities, as evidenced by seven minutes of gameplay footage.

Torbjörn acts as Overwatch's engineer, able to build turrets across the map and upgrade them to giant tools of destruction. It's a skill that's enhanced by his Ultimate ability, Molten Core, which amplifies his building and repair rates while providing him with plenty of scrap. And in the event of close-quarters battle, what dwarf doesn't have his own trusty hammer handy?

Watch Torbjörn's tools keep foes at bay in the clip below. Overwatch's beta is set to kick off later this year. Sign ups are on Battle.net right now.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
