Orisa's backstory was explored as a creation of Efi Odelade using parts from several OR15 units that were destroyed by the new Doomfist in the Numbani airport. Game director Jeff Kaplan described Orisa as an "anchor tank" in "Overwatch" as he has several moves that are similar to other characters like Zarya, Reinhardt and Bastion.
