I love the contrast of this character's design. You've taken the icon of something like a biblical shepherd and twisted to on its head. Hearing a line like, "You are safe with me." while the foreboding music plays in the background, it hits different.

[ninthfriend]

When combining all the concepts, it makes sense how they wanted him to be. A sherperd. A leader, that is the beacon and guidance for his people. Being a tank exemplifies this feeling of being the "first" to lead the charge, to be an example of his people.

I love the anti-hero design he brings. He may look like a villain to us but in reality, he's doing what's right for his people. Such a really cool design for a hero in this game. Awesome work on Ramattra!

This is the kinda content that we love. Definitely can tell there's passion behind this.

[OrigamiAhsoka]

Wow, it’s really cool that ramattra’s been in development since 2017. Even if he wasn’t being developed the full time, that’s still cool

As a recent graduate of game design and someone who has wanted to be a developer since 6th grade I LOVE these videos that give us insight on the iterative design process. I think that more studios should do this, and not leave archivists / journalists like DidYouKnowGaming to dig this stuff up.

A Khonshu (moon god) skin would be dope! With a crescent moon staff 🌙

[dennebans]

The skin potential for ramattra is insane !

[fredericabernkastel]

All those concept art pieces are amazing. Really cool to see the process of building the character throughout the years!

[FennKitFox]

my only wish is that it was longer, I'd really love a deep dive into their older concepts, the teams that built his character, the gameplay, etc. I love these behind the scenes, please give us like a vidoc on it!

[tovpp]

Please do more of these, I wish this was even longer. So interesting and gives context to the Hero that we can appreciate. I almost loved this more than the game play reveal. "This is not cruelty. This, is justice." is just too good.

Thank you Qui Fang and everyone else on the overwatch character design team for your hard work!

[drako]

I hope the next designs are this good!

[ScorchHellfire]

So if Null Sector originally had an ancient Egyptian visual style, does that mean the super AI Anubis from the Temple of Anubis map was their original leader?

[stylosa]

do love me a good overwatch dev update 😃

[mafikdew]

They put so much effort into this character even little stuff they didn't have to do. I love it

[RainbowDancingFish]

he looks like an awesome villain, I hope he feels powerful too

[nicoflight]

This makes me so much more excited for Mauga now if Ramattra looks this good cant wait to see Mauga

[sweethistortea]

Ramattra has such a cool look. He reminds me of something out of Star Wars.

[carlosusnay]

Beautiful showcase of art and designing. Shows the work artists put in and care it comes to creating a character. Can never go under appreciated how great the character designs and personalities are, followed up by each of their lore.

[tristanmestroni]

The art team deserves all the paise in the world for their work. Just remember they aren't the ones making you hate bliz they are the ones making you love OW.
