Coming December 6th
Overwatch 2’s next hero was introduced during last night’sOverwatchLeague Grand Finals, as planned. It’s Ramattra, an Omnic war machine and Tank class hero who can shift between two different styles of fighting. There’s an origin trailer and more details below.
Blizzard described Ramattra’s ultimate goal as being “to protect his people”, the Omnic robots, “but the cost of that goal is still to be determined.” From the video above, the cost seems to be: murdering all the humans.
If you play as Ramattra, you’ll do that via his two forms. In Omnic Form, Ramattra is more like a DPS hero, hassling enemies while fighting from a distance. If you switch into Nemesis form, however, Ramattra is a close-range brawler. “[In] the Nemesis form, you’re rushing down the enemies, you’re charging in there with these punches in the backline to try and get rid of some of their squishies,” said lead hero designer Alec Dawson in a group interview with press before the reveal.
You’ll be able to play as Ramattra when he joins the Overwatch hero roster with the launch of season two on December 6th. That’s assuming, of course, that you level up the battle pass enough to unlock him.
