Overwatch Previews Bastion In New Video

Blizzard Entertainment's upcoming Team-Based FPS game, Overwatch, has released a new preview on their YouTube channel featuring the SST Laboratories Siege Automaton E54... but you can call him Bastion for short. He is a turret based defender, but unlike the Engineer from Team Fortress 2, Bastion IS the turret himself.

He comes with two configurations, Configuration: Recon which is a mobile mode that wields an SMG for mid-range encounters, and Configuration: Sentry which turns him into a stationary machine gun turret for devastating short to mid-range damage. Bastion's only other ability, Self-Repair allows him to quickly retreat and restore health and get right back to his job of defending objectives.

Overwatch has no set release date yet, but you can check out the official website with the full details on Bastion here.
