Blizzard has promised gamers a tank is coming with Season 2 of Overwatch 2. It was initially rumored that Mauga, a character that has been part of Overwatch lore, would be the new character to be added to the game. However, we found out at the Overwatch League finals last Friday that Rammatra is the new Overwatch 2 hero. Similar to Kiriko, Blizzard will lock the new hero behind the battle pass.
According to Blizzard, the new Overwatch 2 hero will be available at the start of Season 2.
According to Overwatch lore, Ramattra is a military leader during the Omnic crisis. After the war, the hero became the head of Null Sector, a terrorist organization based in Britain fighting for the freedom of Omnics and the creation of an Omnic-led nation.
Previously, Rammatra led the Omnic forces during the crisis but only wanted peace for the robotic race. He tried to shed his weapons and strive for peace with the Shambali, a group of peaceful robots. His efforts were in vain and Ramattra grew resentful of humans. He then concluded that humans and Omnics could not co-exist and decided to use force to further his cause. Ramattra became the leader of the Null Sector and declared war against humans.
