Baptiste is Overwatch’s latest character (and a former Talon agent!)

26 Feb 2019

Overwatch‘s newest character, Baptiste, was today confirmed by Activision Blizzard.

The support character was first teased earlier this week; the short video confirmed Baptiste as a former Talon agent who is being hunted down by members of the nefarious organisation. Baptiste, full name Jean-Baptiste Augustin, has since been described as a Haitian combat medic who excels at support.

While a release date for Baptiste hasn’t been detailed, it’s likely the support character will appear inside the PC’s public test realm (PTR) quite soon. We’ll keep you up to date until we learn more. Until that time, you can tide yourself over by watching the character’s teaser and origin trailers below.

Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
