Overwatch 2 Invasion trailer unleashes Ramattra and Zenyatta lore

Are you ready to team up and fight against Null Sector in Overwatch 2's PvE Story Missions? Ahead of the Season 6 launch date, Blizzard revealed the Overwatch 2 Invasion trailer! This trailer features PvE action, hero interactions, Illari as the new support hero, Flashpoint maps, and an all-new Overwatch 2 Invasion Battle Pass. There's even a Ramattra and Zenyatta interaction. Read on for details!

The trailer kicks off with an action-pack sequence highlighting Brigitte and Reinhardt fighting off Null Sector's forces. It reveals Illari as the new Overwatch 2 hero before showcasing Ramattra's involvement in Null Sector. The Overwatch 2 Invasion trailer then features a scene with Ramattra and Zenyatta.

"Since our creation, humans have oppressed us. You have lived in fear. That ends now," Ramattra says. "This is not war. This is liberation."

According to Overwatch 2 art director Dion Rogers, Ramattra is the leader of Null Sector. He also has a deep relationship with Zenyatta. Ramattra was once a monk of the Shambali like Zenyatta, but they had a difference in perspectives in terms of how to make the world a better place for their people.

“He doesn’t want to see his people go. He wants to see a better life for them,” Rogers said during Ramattra's reveal livestream back in 2022.

After pods drop down from the sky, Lucio notes that he's being overrun by Null Sector's forces. However, Brigitte and Tracer arrive to help him out. Next, Winston, Reinhardt, and Sojourn show up for some PvE action.

“Basically, these are cooperative missions that finally move the story in Overwatch forward,” Rogers said during a livestream. He then summarized why Winston recalled the heroes back together, adding that heroes who have never met each other before will unite to stop Null Sector.

“Lucio hasn’t met Reinhardt yet,” Rogers continued. “So you’re going to learn exactly how these characters meet each other, what they’ve been up to before this invasion happened.”

Then, Illari enters the trailer as the newest addition to the Overwatch 2 roster. She talks about how she carries her burdens alone. Illari shouts "Face the sunrise!" before attacking her opponents. She also dukes it out in the new Flashpoint PvP game mode.

The Overwatch 2 Invasion trailer teases the Suravasa and New Junk City maps before introducing players to the new Hero Mastery game mode as well. It then showcases Battle Pass skins for Symmetra, Torbjorn, Zarya, Ashe, Winston, Roadhog, Pharah, and Ana.

Additionally, the trailer shows a few scenes from the upcoming Overwatch 2 Underworld co-op event. It also teases the Illari launch, Hero Mastery, and Overwatch 2 anniversary events.

That's all for now. Will you be able to save Rio, Gothenburg, and Toronto from Null Sector's forces? Overwatch 2 Invasion arrives on Aug. 10. Stick around on esports.gg for more Overwatch 2 news and updates!
