Blizzard Entertainment is proud to present the new 11-year old character of the "Overwatch" game. It was announced via Twitter that "Overwatch" will be releasing a new child-genius character as she will be a part of the upcoming "Overwatch" hero launch.

Her name is Efi Oladele, an 11-year old genius who is known to be the grand winner of the Adawe Foundation. She was awarded for achievements in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics skills. Blizzard Entertainment announced her on Twitter and from there, she was introduced as a genius and an AI Specialist.

However, according to GameSpot, Efi Oladele is still unclear whether if she is a new standalone playable character or if she is related to someone in the "Overwatch" universe. The report said that in an interview, Efi was rewarded with a large amount of money and she is thinking of spending the money by creating something that might be a new playable character.

It may seem that if Efi is the real new character, she might be a character that specializes in making weapons such as drones and robots. During the interview on Efi, she mentioned that she dreamed of building something that can keep everybody safe. With this, she is expected to be a support character that might be another healer or a buffer.

Blizzard stated a few weeks ago that they are going to create new characters for "Overwatch," but they will be going in a new direction. Blizzard plans to release new characters that fans would not expect as the UK Express reported.

Blizzard Entertainment is yet to announce the new character's launch, but it has been revealed that aside for Efi, more characters are currently in development. The company claims that they are working on new characters to add to the current roster along with some numerous events that will be announced in the near future.

There are reports revealing that Blizzard Entertainment is currently working for some changes in the "Overwatch" game that players can try using the public test servers. Blizzard Entertainment is really making the "Overwatch" game more interesting as the game is about to celebrate its first year anniversary this May.
