For those unfamiliar, Blizzard has a MOBA called Heroes of the Storm. The game basically features characters from all of Blizzard’s existing franchises like Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft. However what about Overwatch, Blizzard’s upcoming shooter and latest franchise? If you recall, last year Blizzard did confirm that Overwatch characters will be coming to the game.
The good news is that if you’re curious as to how Overwatch characters will fit into the Heroes of the Storm universe, you can check out the video above which shows Overwatch’s Tracer hero in action. Tracer is probably one of the more iconic Overwatch heroes as she has been prominently shown off in the game’s promos, so picking her to make her debut in Heroes of the Storm isn’t that surprising.
From what we can tell, Tracer looks like your typical assassin-class hero in which she is agile and can even attack while moving. She has a blink-like ability that seems to be in line with her Overwatch skills, along with a time-rewinding ability that could potentially help save her life as it basically pops her back to her position about 3 seconds ago.
Tracer is expected to debut on the 19th of April for gamers who pre-ordered Overwatch: Origins Edition on the PC. For those who didn’t, the hero will make her way onto the game come 26th of April instead.
