After teasing earlier in the week, Blizzard has seemingly unveiled the newest hero to be added to Overwatch, and it's adorable. 

OK, the title and image above probably gives it away, but you still have to see the reveal to believe it. There's no official word on the little guy's name yet, but now we know it's a hamster in a mech ball Hammond is probably a safe bet, because 'Hammond the Hamster' – geddit?

Let's hope he's not related to a certain TV personality known for his brushes with high speed crashes, as controlling him may prove a bit tricky.
