With Overwatch 2\u2019s<\/em> October release still fresh in players\u2019 minds, fans have been speculating about what new heroes could be added, especially when the developers told players that new heroes will be added regularly<\/a> during the game\u2019s life.<\/p>

One of these characters is Mauga. Introduced in a 2019 short story about Baptiste, many fans have their eyes set on the Talon operative as an upcoming hero. But just who is Mauga, anyways?<\/p>

Mauga made his first appearance in \u201c What You Left Behind<\/a>,\u201d a short story in which Baptiste\u2019s dark past catches up with him while on a trip to his home country of Haiti. After stopping for a drink at his favorite bar in town, Baptiste runs into two men from Talon who have come to collect him: Mauga, a large and tropically dressed man covered in tattoos, and Nguyen, a well-dressed Vietnamese man.<\/p>

The story gives its readers a quick glance into Baptiste\u2019s 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.<\/p>

Despite his attempts to flee Talon\u2019s grasp, Baptiste\u2019s former partners coerce the combat medic into helping them with a mission in the Caribbean country. While out in the field, Mauga dons a set of heavy armor with a coolant strapped to his back and carries a pair of machine guns. He activates an energy shield to protect the trio as they make their way through the target\u2019s mansion, often using brute force to overcome enemies blocking his path.<\/p>

If Mauga does join the Overwatch<\/em> cast of heroes, there\u2019s a strong possibility that he’ll join the game as a tank character. Based on his description, Mauga is a large-bodied figure\u2014a shared trait across the tankier, frontline heroes. It’s common for tanks in Overwatch<\/em> to carry machine guns (think Orisa and Wrecking Ball), and Mauga\u2019s energy shield makes him a prime candidate for the role.<\/p>

Unfortunately, Mauga will not be coming to Overwatch 2 <\/em>in season two, as many players speculated. That spot is being filled by Ramattra, another tank and the leader of the omnic organization Null Sector. The development team plans to release one new hero every other season, so it\u2019s possible Mauga could pop up in season four, but nothing is confirmed. Blizzard has yet to reveal any additional information about Mauga or whether he will be a playable character at all. Until then, players will have to wait patiently.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
