Overwatch has some of the most memorable characters in gaming history. Although for the past few years it has not been receiving the same love as it used to back in 2015. But now it seems the introduction of a new ‘playable’ character debuting after three years of its introduction can change the whole course of history for the game.

Not just this, but it is actually getting introduced in the second installment of the game which got released a few weeks ago. Thus making it an even more interesting headline than thought before.

The character will be introduced as a tank-class hero and will feature as the leader of the Null sector. It is reported by VGC that it is possible for the character to join the roster on December 6 this year. Notably, the second season of Overwatch 2 also starts on the same day.

Thus, it is a point of debate whether the character will feature as a hero for season 2 or will be unlocked through competitive play as a reward. Ramattra’s character description reads, “Originally a war machine, Ramattra shed his munitions for a shield to protect his people by promoting peace and tranquility.”

Why is his introduction important for the game?

The fact that Overwatch is slowly getting forgotten by fans is not new. Although developers, Blizzard Entertainment, said that the first week of Overwatch 2 after its release saw a great jump in numbers, the glitches and the copy-pasted gameplay of Overwatch surely dropped the numbers afterward.

Therefore, the introduction of Ramattra can be a pivotal point for the game to hold its ground. This is because the introduction of a new character into the game can be a hint towards the developers trying to fix the game to their fullest potential.
