Ramattra is the new Overwatch 2 hero!

Ramattra gameplay in Overwatch 2: Omnic and Nemesis formsÂ
Ramattra is a new tank hero in Overwatch 2. According to Overwatch 2 Lead Hero Designer Alec Dawson, Ramattra is unique because he has two forms: Omnic and Nemesis.Â
Ramattraâs Omnic form encompasses poke gameplay and includes a barrier to protect his team, Dawson added. When he transforms into his Nemesis form, he can become a big and dangerous target on the battlefield. In the Nemesis form, Ramattra can march towards his enemyâs backline with piercing punches. Â
Overwatch 2 new hero Ramattra lore
Players first saw Ramattra in a Havana Archives mission where he interacted with Doomfirst, Overwatch 2 Art Director Dion Rogers revealed in the live arena.Â
âHeâs the leader of the Null Sector,â Rogers explained. âHe has a deep relationship with Zenyatta. They basically consider each other brothers.âÂ
Rogers then added how fans need more Zenyatta lore and Ramattra is the teamâs way of giving that out.
Ramattraâs relationships and why he fights
Ramattra was also a monk of Shambali like Zenyatta but had a difference in philosophies. Rogers noted how Omnics are finite, which means that they cannot make more of themselves. Whenever an Omnic dies, thereâs no replacement.Â
Thatâs where Ramattraâs motives come in. The new Overwatch hero wants to create a better world for his people. Â
âHe doesnât want to see his people go. He wants to see a better life for them,â Rogers explained. Â
As for Ramattraâs relationship with other heroes, Rogers revealed that he knows characters from the Omnic Crisis such as Reinhardt and Torbjorn.Â
âHeâs gonna have some issues in voice lines with these two, you know,â Rogers said. âBut I really love whatâs going on between him and Zenyatta because that just really shows whatâs next for Overwatch.â
As the newest tank hero in Overwatch 2, Ramattra is available in Season 2 starting December 6th.
