Overwatch 2’s Newest Hero, Ramattra, Is An Omnic Anti-Hero And A Key Part Of The Game’s Next Chapter

As a part of the Overwatch League Grand Finals, Activision Blizzard has revealed the next hero coming to Overwatch 2. Ramattra is an omnic radicalized by the Omnic Crisis--the war that directly led to Overwatch's formation--and humanity's mistreatment of his people. However, rather than join the Agents of Overwatch in their attempts to bring peace to both sides, Ramattra is more interested in enacting his own brand of justice, putting him at odds with the organization.

"Ramattra's story is complex and multifaceted and his ultimate goal is to protect his people--but the cost of that goal is still to be determined," Blizzard wrote in the official press release. "Ramattra’s story is one of hardships, trauma, and a magnified view of humanity's harsh realities. Harmony was replaced by dissonance, and Ramattra began to approach his convictions from a more pragmatic angle--justifying any means necessary to defend his fellow omnics. As the leader of Null Sector, Ramattra boasts incredible support from his people, and he is primed to impose his philosophies on our world."

While Blizzard has yet to reveal Ramattra's full set of abilities, it did confirm he will be a tank hero that operates similarly to D.Va. Like D.Va, Ramattra will essentially have two forms: Omnic and Nemesis. In omnic form, the hero is more focused on doling out long-range attacks and protecting his team through creating barriers. However, once his Nemesis mode is activated, the former monk becomes a literal killing machine, able to cut down low-health enemies with ease. During a group press conference with Blizzard, the studio stated Ramattra will work best fighting alongside heroes such as Lucio, who can aide him with healing and mobility, while Anna, Reinhardt, and heroes with stun abilities might be formidable opponents.
