Although there are many voice lines in Overwatch, not all the ones the voice actors recorded
actually made it into the live game.
Some were left out due to copyright issues, some might be for future content and others
just seem to be missing for unknown and mysterious reasons.
But to make sure you don't miss out, these are Overwatch’s Missing Voice Lines.
[Reinhardt: IT WAS WORTH IT!!!!
Some voice lines haven't made it into the final game due to licensing issues as they
are references to other media.
For example, D.VA parodies the Korean smash sensation Gangnam Style
This was confirmed by D.VA’s voice actress to be her favorite line, but unfortunately
they couldn't add it into the actual game.
Roadhog has a line I havn’t heard on the live servers that is actually a reference
to a classic quote from Mike Tyson.
[Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the mouth]
Roadhog actually has quite a few lines i've not heard in game yet, such as this one when
talking about the rings on his left hand.
[It says Left, Go on, ask me what the other one says]
He also has a few lines that seem to refer to some kind of treasure:
[A reward fit for a king] [Shiney]
Its been speculated that a new map might be set in New Zealand, where many people believe
Roadhog could have been born, perhaps all these new voice lines for him are tied to
that.
Wop Wops is a New Zealand term for a remote outback town so perhaps that's the setting
for a future map, maybe there is some treasure to be escorted as a payload.
This could line up with one of Junkrats currently hidden voice lines as well.
[Just look at this beauty]
Genji has a missing voice line that I’m pretty sure is a reference to Obi-Wan in A New Hope.
[The soul is a balanced weapon for a more civilized age]
[An elegant weapon for a civilized age]
Reaper has a few interesting voice lines that sound like they would be triggered by being
on his home map.
[Home sweet home]
[It's just not the same since they cleaned up all the smog]
He's from LA, so perhaps these were intended to be played on the Hollywood map, but later
got removed as it would seem a little strange for people unfamiliar with his origin to think
that big scary Reaper came from such a lighthearted map as Hollywood.
Another of Reapers quotes is very long, so that's probably why the full version didnt
get put in the game, but its also really awesome.
[The Games in the refrigerator ]
This is actually a reference to Chuck Hearn, an American sportscaster who was well known
for making this quote.
Its likely this is to do with the basketball in control map spawns, other heroes have similar
lines relating to dunking the ball, but I dont think they are actually in game yet,
Hal-fred Glitchbot, the Omnic inside the car on Hollywood actually has way more lines of
dialog than you normally hear from him, these are some of the best.
Athena, the Overwatch AI and announcer for the game also has some additional voice lines
that as of yet haven't been used.
Perhaps these are for a gamemode that was in development but so far hasn’t ended up
in live game?
Some of the heroes also have lines that don’t seem to fit anywhere in the normal game.
[Sombra: Mine Deployed]
Some voice lines that are missing from the game are just terrible jokes and puns, I would
actually like these to end up being put in, but I can kinda see why they’re not in there
[Tracer: The world could always use more gyros]
[Winston: I got a rock….Of Gibraltar]
D.VA has a few voice lines that are pretty close to breaking the fourth wall, she often
refers to things as if she knows she's in a game, but these might have just been pushing
to far.
[PLAY OF THE GAME]
[POCKET HEALER]
Sombra also gets a line that certainly seems to make it sound like she knows she's living
in a digital world.
[Sombra Hack The Score]
So which of these voice lines are your favorites and which would you like to see added into
the live game?
Let me know in the comments below.
As always this is James for Curse saying thanks for watching, and enjoy the game!
