All Overwatch 2 Heroes Official Ages and Birthdays

Overwatch 2 official ages for all heroes.

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.

Why are the ages in Overwatch 2 controversial? 

Many players have complained that some of the official ages don't fit into the narrative of Overwatch 2 or even some character's backstories. For example, Ashe looks young, yet she is 41. Orisa is only one, yet she was in the original Overwatch game which happened two years before the events of Overwatch 2. Many players think Blizzard picked numbers at random when picking their ages, but honestly, the hero's ages don't impact the gameplay and, therefore, aren't super important.

D.Va is currently 21 years old in the Overwatch 2 universe. In Overwatch 1, she was 19, showing how there's a rough two or three-year gap between the two games.
