While some were amused with a simple reply from Ramattra, others attempted to test his humor and failed. He branched out into tweets that mentioned his name and responded toOverwatch Leagueteams Houston Outlaws and Los Angeles Gladiators, OWL caster Jennifer “LemonKiwi” Pichette, and streamers Somjuu and OWGrandma, among others. He also responded to fan art tweets, menacingly answered some questions, and granted one “human’s” request for a hello.
The PlayOverwatch Twitter returned to normal about 4 hours after Ramattra’s first tweet, also leaving behind one last imposing picture. There has been plenty of fanfare surrounding the release of Ramattra by theOverwatch 2team. There was a new lore drop from Ramattra’s perspective of the years leading up to and immediately after the King’s Row Uprising. Developer explanations of Ramattra’s gameplay and hero design andadditional lore insights into RamattrafromOverwatch 2’s Lead Narrative Designer Gavin Jurgens-Fyhrie have also been released.
When Ramattra comes inOverwatch 2’s Season 2 on December 6, there will be a slight change to how long players will have to grind Battle Pass levels in order to get him.Ramattra will be unlocked after Level 45rather than Level 55 as Kiriko was in the free-to-play Battle Pass. This, alongside other changes like log-in bonus cosmetics and adjustments to daily and weekly challenges, is in response to player outcry over Season 1’s cosmetic rewards. Ramattra will still be an instant unlock for players that purchase the premium Battle Pass, but he will still be unavailable in Competitive until a week after the season begins.
Overwatch 2is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
