New Overwatch Short Story: What You Left Behind
Overwatch Developer Update - June 2019
Game Director Jeff Kaplan sat down to give another Overwatch developer update!
- The community has been asking for more story, more character development.
- Recently released a new short story for Baptiste.
- Some characters in the story may become bigger parts of the Overwatch universe in the future.
- Baptiste Reunion Challenge is coming. Unlock an epic skin for Baptiste by winning 9 matches in any mode.
- Some additional rewards available to unlock. Similar to the Anna & Diva challenges in the past.
- A big patch is on the horizon with new features.
- Replays are coming, they will live on your career profile.
- Replays will show your last 10 played matches.
- Full suite of spectator tools will be available, watch your replays from any point of view.
- Replays will help players become better by learning from their past matches.
- When the game is patched, old replays will be cleared. If you really want to save something be sure to record it.
- On PC you can watch Overwatch league replays shortly after the match happens.
- Minor balance changes coming, they are on the PTR.
- Assault mode has had one minute removed from the time you have to capture point B.
- The goal is to speed up the pace of Assault mode games.
- Respawns will be better. If you die as the enemy team captures point A you will be more likely to spawn at B to stop snowballing.
- New competitive season is coming.
- There will be a brand new competitive free-for-all deathmatch season as well.

Christ, took them ages to change Assault respawning.

Poor Baptiste. Still Overwatch's most boring character.

His whole backstory as well as him being introduced as a character was so lackluster and without
any strong promotion outside of a comic and some minor tidbits.
