Meet the first batch of heroes in Blizzard's newest FPS game Overwatch.
Tracer rapid-fires both of her pistols.
Tracer zips horizontally through space in the direction she’s moving, and reappears several yards away. She stores up to three charges of the blink ability and generates more every few seconds.
Tracer bounds backward in time, returning her health, ammo and position on the map to precisely where they were a few seconds before.
Tracer lobs a large bomb that adheres to any surface or unfortunate opponent it lands on. After a brief delay, the bomb explodes, dealing high damage to all enemies within its blast radius.
Reaper tears enemies apart with twin shotguns.
Reaper becomes a shadow for a short period of time. While in this form, he takes no damage and is able to pass through enemies, but cannot fire his weapons or use other abilities.
After marking a destination, Reaper disappears and reappears at that location.
In a blur of motion, Reaper empties both hellfire shotguns at breakneck speed, dealing massive damage to all nearby enemies.
