The character, who has been a part of Overwatch lore for over three years since first appearing during the Storm Rising event, will be a tank-class hero. Revealed during the Overwatch League Grand Finals, Ramattra will join the roster on December 6th. The game’s second season of content will also launch on this date.

However, Ramattra’s story is one of hardship, trauma and a magnified view of the harsh reality of humanity. “Harmony was replaced by discord, and Ramattra began to approach his beliefs from a more pragmatic angle – justifying any means necessary to defend his colleagues. As the leader of the Null Sector, Ramattra boasts incredible support from his people and is ready to impose his philosophies on our world.” It is currently unclear if players will have to unlock the ability to play as Ramattra in competitive play, as was the case with the new hero introduced in Season 1, Kiriko. More than 25 million players played Overwatch 2 in its first ten days of availability, Blizzard claimed. Overwatch 2’s massive engagement numbers are despite the numerous issues it has faced since its release.
