Humans who wanted to live with humanity but had no intention of sharing their world. Lamatra, the guardian of the failing omnic and head of the null sector who has tried to protect the omnic in a realistic way, has announced the joining of Overwatch 2.
Blizzard has unveiled a new hero, Ramattra, in time for the Overwatch League final on 5, now Korean. Lamatra is a group that symbolizes the human-omnic conflict within the Overwatch universe and is the head of the Null Sector, which has emerged as a key story group in global emergency terrorism.
The story video released this time explains why Lamatra is hostile to humanity and wants to protect the omnic. Created to lead omnics in war, Ramatra only desired a better life for her omnic companions rather than the purpose of her birth. Consequently, she dreamed of coexistence with humanity, exploring ways to achieve peace and harmony, repeating ontological questions.
Lamatra explains that, despite her wishes, omnics were sacrificed for humanity’s dream. In particular, he talked about the cause of finding a place to protect the finite life of the omnic, which exists only for a generation because it is impossible to pass on, and he revealed why he is fighting against humanity.
Unlike Talon, another hostile group that plans intentional strife, the setting that the Null Sector battles to protect itself has become more concrete through this video. In particular, voice actor Kang Goo-han, who has shown a strong appearance through foreign films and animations such as Heinrich Runge, left a deep impression on the acting of him, who was full of anger and at the same time showed a calm and omnic aspect. .
On the other hand, in today’s video, Lamatra’s actual in-game performance was not disclosed separately. However, the development team announced a deeper story development through changed path, harmony and change regardless of means and methods with Zenyatta, who dreamed of the same ideal. He also stated that Lamatra will take two forms: the ability to protect allies and the ability to launch large-scale attacks.
Lamatra will join Overwatch 2 Season 2, which kicks off December 7, as the reigning hero, and detailed information about the hero will be revealed before Season 2 begins.
