When Was Echo Released in Overwatch?
Echo was released on April 14, 2020. Her release came with much excitement in the community as she seemed different than other DPS heroes in her category. Her name was originally Iris and she had a different design before release but that changed by the end of development. She is the 32nd hero released and the last hero that will be released before the release of Overwatch 2.
Echo's personality is based on Doctor Mina Liao, her creator. As Echo continues to adapt away from the confines of a lab, there is no knowing what she will adapt to. Her story is unique in its own right as she is a developing figure in the lore with a backstory that has its own different twists and turns. She was a welcomed change to the meta and players from around love to play her.
