Overwatch 2’s newest hero is the scary but sexy Ramattra

This is the perfect prelude for the Overwatch League 2022 Grand finals, Blizzard has revealed Overwatch 2’s newest character. Ramattra is the game’s 36th hero, and his abilities and story seem like they’ll make for the most interesting addition to the roster yet. 

Ramattra is the leader Null SectorA group of sentient robotics known as OmnicsThey will fight for the freedom of their people using all available means. In Overwatch’s overarching story (yes, there is one) Null Sector is one of the biggest baddies, responsible for touching off the war between robots and humans that became the instigating event for the creation of the Overwatch task force. 

Ramattra is a tank like you’ve never seen before. Rather than being the kind of tank that shields their team — like Sigma, Reinhardt, or D.Va — Ramattra’s ability to shape-shift between an omnic and nemesis form gives him offensive capabilities that allow him to attack enemies at range and burst into a team’s back line to wreak havoc on softer targets.

“I don’t think we can overestimate how scary Ramattra gets when he goes into nemesis form,” said lead narrative designer Gavin Jurgens-Fyhrie in an interview with The Verge. “You will see him change.”

Jurgens-Fyhrie spoke about how the team wanted to emphasize the terror of Ramattra’s transformation to infuriate players who oppose Ramattra. 

We will soon have more information about Ramattra and his talents, and we will be able to play him when we can. Overwatch 2’s second seasonStarts on December 6th.
