Baptiste

As we close out 2019, we look forward to 2020, where we're certain to learn more about Blizzard's plans for Overwatch 2.

If, "all the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players," as the Bard says, in the world of Overwatch those players are the various heroes that we play.

Coming out of approximately nowhere, Overwatch lead writer -- and Zork enthusiast -- Michael Chu decided to drop a new short story.

Hot on the heels of the new Baptiste short story comes the Reunion Challenge which awards you with a whole bunch of Overwatch goodies, including the Combat Medic skin we got a glimpse of yesterday.

In the short story What You Left Behind, Baptiste's past with Talon catches up to him, forcing him to question whether or not he's actually capable of doing good, while further expanding the lore of Overwatch.

You wouldn't know it from playing him, but Baptiste was created by mixing and matching other Overwatch hero mechanics.

Like it or not, Baptiste -- Overwatch's newest support hero -- won't drastically change the popularity of the GOATS, or 3-3, meta that you see so often in the Overwatch League when he arrives in Stage 2.

Sombra and Baptiste are good friends, and she's been keeping an eye on him ever since he left Talon.

Here's a look at all of Baptiste's new skins on the Overwatch PTR.

The latest Overwatch patch -- which includes new Support hero Baptiste -- has the biggest list of hero balance changes in the game's history.
