All Overwatch 2 hero ages made official after 7 years of speculation

Overwatch 2 devs have finally revealed the official ages of all characters available in the popular hero shooter after years of fan speculation.

One of the most important features of Blizzard’s hero shooter is, well, its heroes. The game is known mostly for its cast of iconic characters that hail from all over the world, representing different cultures and identities. This is showcased in many ways, including their character models, animations, voice lines, and even the way the heroes interact with one another before the match starts.

With the heroes at the forefront of the shooter, many players have often wondered just how old these characters really are. Especially considering that the game takes place in the future, there’s been plenty of speculation about the heroes’ ages since the game first went live seven years ago.

Fortunately, Blizzard recently updated the Play Overwatch website, which now includes the official birthdays and ages of all heroes in Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2 heroes have birthdays revealed in new update

Players may be surprised to learn that the youngest Overwatch 2 character is the tank hero Orisa, who is technically only 1 year old. Followed up next is Echo at 14, then Hammond at 16. However, the youngest human hero is newcomer Illari currently aged 18.

Other notable birthdates include Junkrat, who was born on February 29th, which is a leap day that only comes around once every 4 years.
