With the release of Overwatch 2 inching closer, players have started speculating about what new heroes will be added to the game, especially when the developers hinted at a new hero. The hero will be added after the game’s PvP beta is released.
A 2019 short story about Baptiste brought this new character named Mauga to light, and several players have their eyes set on him as the next hero. In this article, we will discuss who Mauga is.
Mauga was first seen in “What You Left Behind,” a short story where Baptiste’s dark past catches up with him. Baptiste runs into two men from Talon in a bar. Both of them have come to collect him: Mauga, a large and tropically dressed man with a body covered in tattoos, and Nguyen, a Vietnamese man.

The story gives its readers a quick glance into Baptiste’s past as a Talon operative. During his time with the shady organization, the combat medic completed missions alongside his former partners, Nguyen and Mauga, who had taken Baptiste under their wing after he joined Talon.
If Mauga joins the Overwatch cast of heroes, it’s likely that he’ll come as a tank character. Based on his description, Mauga has a large body figure, something common with the tankier, frontline heroes. It’s common for tanks in the game to have machine guns and Mauga’s energy shield makes him a ideal for the role.
Recently, it was announced that Junker Queen will be the next tank coming to Overwatch ahead of its PvP beta in October. But due to the new seasons will rotate every 9 weeks, players will get to see heroes added more frequently, meaning that Mauga could come to Overwatch 2 shortly after its beta launch.
