Last season brought us heroes for every character class in the game which included Sojurn, Junker Queen, and Kiriko, each of who brought a refreshing spin on their hero class.

Ramattra is the new cybernetic tank coming to Overwatch 2 who was announced at the Overwatch 2 League competition earlier this year. From Ramattra's origin story to their unique two-form move set, Overwatch 2's new hero is sure to draw a lot of fans.

Once players grind through to level 55 in the Season 2 Battle Pass they'll unlock the ability to play as Ramattra and see just what the new hero offers. One of the most interesting things about Ramattra is his ability to switch between a Nemesis and Omnic Form to offer two tank hero experiences.

In the Nemesis Form, Ramattra bulks up into a tougher, more offensive tank hero with a larger pool of health that seems ideal for tank-to-tank combat. The Omnic Form, on the other hand, acts as Ramattra's base form, where he's able to summon a shield to protect himself and the rest of the team, as well as wielding a staff the allows him a ranged projectile attack.

In addition to a new hero, Overwatch 2 Season 2 is promised to have a new map. Though the new map has been confirmed no details have been offered on what it'll be as of the time of reporting.
