Echo, the latest hero to join the ranks of Blizzard’s Overwatch, is quite the interesting new addition. Not only is she a sentient robot who has the unique ability to mimic the skills of opposing heroes, but a little-known fact is that she hails from sunny Singapore.

While neither Echo’s reveal trailer or any official write-up of her nationality (after all, do robots even qualify for such a thing?), a recent gameplay video by Team Singapore community lead Caldoran revealed that she can speak Singlish – the informal cultural language of Singapore.

Caldoran discovered Echo’s voice line while playing her in the Overwatch PTR (public test realm) servers. And as he pointed out, shiok is Singlish for describing one’s pleasure or enjoyment. It can range from eating good food, getting a massage… or even dropping foes in Overwatch.
