Overwatch 2’s Lifeweaver Might Verify Baptiste Is Queer, Too

Overwatch 2’s subsequent hero, Lifeweaver, is the sequence’ first pansexual character. Once we talked with the Blizzard staff concerning the new assist hero in a roundtable interview, we have been informed by Lead Narrative Designer Gavin Jurgens-Fyhrie that characters can be receptive to his advances throughout pre-match banter. Nonetheless, the staff didn’t need to spoil which characters that would come with on the time. Effectively now, it appears Lifeweaver’s dialogue with Baptiste, one other assist hero, has confirmed he, too, appears to be a part of Overwatch’s queer roster.

Lifeweaver isn’t out there for most people simply but, however gamers on Overwatch 2’s take a look at servers are enjoying as him proper now. As such, they’ve been capable of take a look at his dialogue with different heroes, and this trade between him and Baptiste is just about a affirmation that the ex-Talon medic joins Soldier: 76 and Lifeweaver in Overwatch’s group of queer males. The trade, through which Lifeweaver just about asks Baptiste to dinner, is as follows:

Lifeweaver: “I’ve obtained reservations at a unbelievable restaurant, however I’m not too positive who to ask.”

Baptiste: “I do know a man.”

Lifeweaver: “Is he by probability a dashing ex-mercenary from the Caribbean?”

Baptiste: “[Chuckling] He may simply be.”

Homosexual.

Baptiste has been a part of Overwatch’s roster since 2019, and was at all times a little bit of a flirt to some feminine characters like Ana. Nonetheless, that is the primary time he’s instantly flirted with a person. Possibly he was simply ready for somebody who can be receptive to his advances. It’s not like Soldier is trying to date proper now. He’s too busy doing vigilante shit.

With Baptiste, Overwatch’s queer characters now attain a complete of 4 alongside Lifeweaver, Soldier: 76, and Tracer. Whereas Tracer, Soldier, and now Baptiste have been all revealed to be a part of the LGBTQIA+ neighborhood after their preliminary reveals, Blizzard has been upentrance about Lifeweaver’s id since his announcement this week. I didn’t anticipate him to disclose one thing about one other character, a lot much less Baptiste, my important assist character, however I’m very glad he did.
