How old is Genji in Overwatch 2?
Genji is 37 years old.
After the developers gave the official update, this age didn’t make sense for the lore. In Kiriko’s story upon release, it was revealed that the healer grew up training with Genji and Hanzo. Artwork also portrayed the three heroes together as children.
But according to the confirmed ages, Kiriko is 21. That’s 16 years younger than Genji and nearly 20 years younger than Hanzo. This made the art and lore completely confusing and ultimately not realistically possible.
The new ages created a few other confusing situations as well, including Mercy seeming too young and a few others. Still, it’s nice to have some official ages I guess.
