Reaper Receives Young Gabriel Reyes Voice Lines in Overwatch Retribution

​​Overwatch Archives has been released and with it a myriad of amazing content. The Overwatch team put in the extra time and care to include an update to Reaper's voice lines in Retribution, where you play as a younger Reaper -- Gabriel Reyes.

I'm actually screaming. Ever since Uprising, I've wanted Reaper's human voice in the game and now in Retribution he has a full voice set, including voicelines, with his human, Gabriel Reyes voice. I'm so happy, you have no idea. I love you, Blizzard.

​​So far this feature is only available in the PVE encounter Retribution, but Overwatch fans suspect that the updated voice lines will be implemented into the game eventually. Otherwise it's an awful lot of work for the team, and voice actor Keith Ferguson, to go through for such a short event.

Dear @PlayOverwatch and @westofhouse I would do literally anything, if you would keep on Gabriel Reyes his normal voice on his two skins. ( soldier and blackwatch) outside of the event too. Its amazing to hear him like that.
Sincerely Sake ( huge fan of details)

Any quick social media search will reveal the massive popularity Gabriel Reyes is receiving because of Retribution, and the extra effort Blizzard has put in for the character is definitely worth it.

The latest Overwatch event features the return of Uprising Brawl, the popular alternate game mode. There's story mode, in which players can play as Tracer, Reinhardt, Mercy or Torbjörn. They essentially replay Tracer's first Overwatch mission through the streets of Kings Row. The mode is also available in "All Heroes" mode.

Eight legendary skins are released in the event. Six skins (though it's unclear how many of them will be legendary) were revealed or released at an earlier time, a list that includes Blackwatch Moira, Scion Hanzo, Soldier 24 Reaper, Talon Sombra, Pyjamei(Pyjama Mei) and Specimen 28 Winston.

The Soldier: 24 Reaper skin was seemingly leaked Tuesday morning via Xbox, and another skin for Lucio was apparently leaked through a trailer for Overwatch Retribution on IGN's website.
