Blizzard shared a look at the new skills and appearance that Bastion will launch within Overwatch 2.With Overwatch 2, fan-favourite robot Bastion receives a “big rework” and will play significantly differently from his playstyle in the original game.The new video showcases that his ultimate ability – instead of transforming into a tank – will turn Bastion into a stationary artillery piece.

In this form, players receive an overhead view of the area and fire down three artillery shells with a free-form target.Bastion is also losing his self-repair healing ability.

His new ability is a more damage-oriented skill, as he will fire a grenade that can bounce off walls and stick to players. Speaking on the change, Geoff Goodman – lead hero designer.
