New Overwatch Voice Actor Shouts Out Subreddit That Waited Eight Years for Emre to Become Playable

Kerem Erdinc, the actor voicing Emre, took a moment to personally congratulate the subreddit via a video message. His message was a touching nod to the community’s steadfastness and unwavering belief.

“I wanted to send a sincere congratulations to everyone at r/EmreMains. Your dedication and patience over the last eight years have been incredible,” Erdinc stated. “I’ve been right there with you in spirit, and the wait is finally over.” He then punctuated the message with his character’s signature command: “Search and destroy.”

A Special Message for R/EmreMains from r/EmreMains

Erdinc has already made a fantastic impression on the fanbase, actively engaging with both English and Turkish-speaking supporters in the comments. He’s been sharing behind-the-scenes tidbits and soaking in the celebratory atmosphere with the players.

Mechanically, Emre appears to be a robust Damage hero featuring a health-regeneration passive and a high-precision primary burst rifle. While his kit seems accessible for newcomers, competitive players are already debating how his utility will scale within high-level metas.

Blizzard maintains that the Overwatch rebranding isn’t an admission of past shortcomings, but rather a strategy to focus on long-term sustainability.
