Overwatch
Blizzard continues to roll out extended gameplay footage of Overwatch, putting individual characters in the spotlight. The latest to be featured is Tracer, a tricky, time-manipulating teleporter.
I had the chance to play against Tracer in a couple of matches of Overwatch at PAX East. Used well, her ability to rewind the clock a few seconds to regenerate health, ammo, and zip out of danger can be devastating. She can rush right back in and pick you apart the rest of the way.
Tracer can also store up to three "blinks" that allow her to teleport in a straight line. Her ultimate ability is a sticky bomb that attaches to any surface or, if you aim well, an enemy.
For more on Overwatch, you can check out videos featuring Hanzo, McCree, Mercy, and Zenyatta. You can also read our hands-on impressions from PAX East.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
