He was technically introduced in the first game, but Ramattra will join Overwatch 2’s roster in December for season 2.
After introducing three new characters at launch, Overwatch 2 is already set to add another as part of the game’s second season of content next month.
Announced at the Overwatch League Grand Finals at the weekend, Blizzard Entertainment shared a teaser trailer that does’t feature any gameplay but focuse on the origins of the new character.
Named Ramattra, he will join Junker Queen as a new tank hero when he’s added to the game on December 6 – the same day season 2 starts.
For those of you interested in Overwatch lore, Ramattra is an omnic (one of Overwatch’s human-like robots) just like Zenyatta. Initially built as a war machine, Ramattra gave up that life and wants to protect his fellow omnics.
