Developers they try to develop the universe of their competitive action movie by releasing short cartoons, comics, creating themed levels and various seasonal tasks. They recently introduced dedicated to one of the new heroes - Batista.
Alyssa Wong from Blizzard devoted a lot of time to the story, and the team enjoyed working on it. According to the plot, after leaving the "Claw", Jean-Baptiste Augustin went to travel the world, applying his medical knowledge where they are needed. But the world's crime syndicates do not forget their debtors. What Baptiste left behind comes back to haunt him, with devastating consequences.
From this story you can find out what kind of person Baptiste is. Readers will see the hero in his homeland, Haiti. Moreover, the story features characters from Batista's past, each with their own characteristics and history - the developers note that some of them may become part of the Overwatch universe in the future (apparently, this means the emergence of a new hero).
At the same time, Batista's Last Case time trial, based on the story of a doctor's difficult military past, and various themed materials that can be unlocked until July 1, were added to the game: a badge, eight sprays, and Batista's epic Combat Medic skin.
Winning Quick Play, Competitive Play, and Arcade before the end of the promotion will earn players a badge, two sprays, and a new epic Combat Medic skin. In addition, in Arcade Mode, Batista's Last Case Challenge rewards will be available in addition to the regular rewards. Finally, through July 1st, streaming Overwatch matches on select Twitch channels can earn even more Baptiste themed items. Full rules and list of streamers can be found at .
Ahead of the players is also waiting for a big update with new features. For example, there will be a replay feature in the user profile, allowing you to review the last 10 matches played from any angle using all the spectator tools created by the developers, including an overlay mode with character icons on the map. When viewing, you can use acceleration and deceleration, viewing from the perspective of different characters.
Saved replays disappear when the game is updated, so those who wish to save a recording must export it using the appropriate programs or the "Share" function on consoles. With the update, other changes will come into effect, including minor changes in the balance of heroes and improvements to the 2CP capture mode. Blizzard is also preparing a new competitive season dedicated to Skirmish mode.
