As teased into the cult, Ramattra is the leader of the Null Sector organization. Like Zenyatta, Ramattra is a Shambli monk who no longer sees the option of peacefully defending the rights of the Omnics and has now taken a more “realistic perspective,” according to the Overwatch blog announcing his reveal. “Originally a war machine, Ramattra shed his ammunition for a shield to protect his people while promoting peace and tranquility,” Blizzard writes. “However, Ramattra’s story is one of hardship, trauma and a magnified view of the harsh reality of humanity.” Overwatch 2 – Ramattra cinematics While Blizzard only shared a cinematic trailer introducing Ramattra’s story and origins, IGN sat in on a media roundtable with Overwatch 2 hero designer Alec Dawson, who revealed that Ramattra will have two forms that players can be changed. “He has two forms. He has an Omnic form and his Nemesis form. Part of the skill we’re testing is when to switch between those forms. Because the Omnic form, you’re playing this poke game, you’re protecting your team, a little bit in range . And after the Nemesis form, you rush the enemies, you punch in there and you have these punches.” The leader of the Null Sector is on a mission to create a better world for the Omnics… no matter the cost.
