His actor doesn’t know any. Other heroes are like that

He can be fluent in english and also speaks german, like ana but ana uses arabic in game

I heard that the VA had a lot of trouble learning the ult line, so the devs decided to just leave it at that. Hanzo’s backstory as an assassin who travels the world makes up for the lack of voicelines.

That being said, I don’t think Rein’s VA (who is a god among men, IMO) speaks German. Maybe he could learn a line or 2 like Lucio’s VA did? Who knows what they have planned.

Mercy actually isn’t speaking Swiss German in-game (aside from 1-2 words here and there), as opposed to Mercy being Swiss. But Luci Pohl is German, not Swiss German however, but she grew up in the US. She speaks German.

I forgot to add a few native speaking VA’s, but Junkrat and Hog have American VA’s.
