Overwatch 30th Hero Teaser Points To New Medic

Looks like Jean-Baptiste Augustin is coming... at some point.

Blizzard have started off their next campaign, hyping the release of the much anticipated 30th hero, which looks set to be a medic by the name of Jean-Baptiste Augustin.

On the official Overwatch website, Blizzard have posted an in-universe letter written by Captain D. Cuerva, detailing his mission to recover former Talon agent Jean-Baptiste, currently hiding out in Haiti. The letter describes Jean-Baptiste as a medic with a hell of a shot, blessed with incredible adaptability and “the Devil’s own luck”. You can find a link to that letter below, along with a short teaser video.

The teaser above ends with some hexadecimal code that has already been deciphered, spelling out Jean-Baptiste Augustin’s name, practically confirming that he’s the next hero coming to Overwatch. That said, Augustin could be a red herring, and the mysterious Cuerva could be the new hero. Maybe we’ll get two heroes at once? We don’t know yet, but expect Blizzard’s campaign of teases and ball-tickling to continue over the coming days and, potentially, weeks.
