From Aug. 18 to Aug. 30, Pirate Ship Bastion is available now for players to purchase in-game for 200 League Tokens ($9.99 USD), which can also be earned for free by watching live Overwatch League broadcasts.
According to Blizzard, from the pirate flag and hat, to its anchors, marine steering wheel and parrot friend, the skin’s concept was inspired by one of the oldest strategies in the Overwatch Payload playbook.
“The idea came from a specific team composition featuring Bastion on payload maps called ‘pirate ship,’ where Bastion sits on the payload while the rest of the team protects him,” Blizzard team members shared. “We thought it would be fun to make Bastion an actual pirate ship!”
Pirate Ship Bastion is the seventh pirate skin to release in Overwatch.
As such, any combination of Bastion, Ana, Baptiste, Junkrat, Roadhog, Sigma and Torbjörn can be locked in together—with cosmetic coordination in mind—for those looking to go with a pirate team comp.
This year’s Overwatch League Countdown Cup global tournament will run from Thursday, Aug. 19, to Saturday, Aug. 21.
