Overwatch Gets New Baptiste Skin With Limited-Time Event

Overwatch is kicking off another limited-time event, this time centering around the latest addition to the roster, Baptiste. You can earn some special cosmetics including a new Epic skin for Baptiste, and the event goes hand-in-hand with a short story featuring the character.

From June 18 through July 1, notch wins in Quick Play, Competitive, or Arcade to win the new cosmetic items. Three wins will grant you a player icon, six will give you two new sprays, and nine will give you the Battle Medic Baptiste skin. You can also earn extra sprays by watching up to six hours of participating Overwatch streamers on Twitch.

The update kicking off the Baptiste event also introduces the new Replays feature. This will let you watch previous matches with flexible controls over aspects like camera and playback speed. You can check out the official site for more info including keyboard shortcuts.

Baptiste was added to the game in March, and he marked the game’s 30th Hero. Overwatch has had more frequent, smaller events recently in addition to its big holiday-themed ones, including dabbling with free-to-play and introducing a new Workshop feature.
