Blizzard has been injecting new heroes into Overwatch at roughly the rate of three per year (2017 and 2018 saw this exact cadence), and 2019 is already welcoming its first: the support hero Baptiste.
A survivor of the Omnic War, Baptiste is a badass Haitian combat medic who regrets some of his past life choices (he defected from the villainous Talon as a result) and vows to “fight for a better world.” His mantra? “A bandage or a bullet.” Yeah, I’m into this guy, especially his Dragon Ball Z-esque power level Scouter.
We’ll know more soon enough as Blizzard is pretty hasty when it comes to delivering cold hard info after a tease. You can watch his backstory below and expect his entire kit and a playable PTR build with Baptiste in the near future.
