While Hiestand is still relatively new to voice acting, he’s had a long history in animation, which seems to be a good pairing for Overwatch.


Based on the official origin video for Sigma, it looks like the actor and animator will be giving us an intense performance.

The voice actor hasn’t said much about his work with Sigma, except for a single tweet saying: “Sigma is coming.”


Boris will no doubt be welcomed into the Overwatch voice actor family with open arms. We'll update you with any incoming Sigma news as it happens.
