Blizzard has finally confirmed the next tank heading to Overwatch 2 with the introduction of Ramattra, as hinted earlier this week. The character’s official origin video, as well as a post on Blizzard’s Overwatch blog, provide additional information about the hero, who was originally featured at the conclusion of the Overwatch “Storm Rising” event. Ramattra, the head of Null Sector, the Omnic terrorist organisation that was pivotal to the “Uprising” event in 2017, will be available as a playable tank in Overwatch 2 when season two starts on December 6th.
Ramattra’s tale shows him to be a soldier who leads his fellow Omnic warriors into combat. In the intervening years, he seems to have joined the Shambali and studied the Iris teachings in Nepal with Zenyatta. Peace was never an option for Ramattra, whose desire to keep his people alive drove him to battle. “Ramattra’s narrative is one of the trials, pain, and a magnified vision of humanity’s brutal reality,” writes Blizzard.
