Not much information is given about Echo, but it appears she was a member of Overwatch before the team was disbanded.

Nothing has been revealed about Echo’s kit or ability, and technically she hasn’t been confirmed as a hero, but all signs point to that being the case.

The McCree cinematic was the first from Blizzard since the “Shooting Star” cinematic was released earlier in the year.
