All Overwatch 2 Heroes Official Ages and Birthdays
In 2023, Blizzard Entertainment revealed some official lore surrounding every character in Overwatch 2, including each hero's age and height, on the official Overwatch website. While this initially came under fire due to some inconsistencies in the official lore, it's fun for our favorite heroes to get some additional background lore added to them.
An example of a lore inconsistency is that Kiriko is only 21 years old and supposedly trained with Genji and Hanzo during their childhood. Yet, the Shimada Clan brothers are 37 and 40, respectively, making the official artwork and comics logically impossible.
