Learn More About Tracer
In addition to the rewards offered, players and fans can also enjoy the new comic titled Tracer – London Calling.
The story follows Tracer as she ends her time as an Overwatch agent. It has been five years since the Petras Act has been ratified, resulting to Tracer continuing to do good as a part-time hero, though focusing mainly on small-scale crimes. Things change when an omnic known as Iggy shows her the horrible living conditions forced on the omnics of London. Being the hero that she is, Tracer is more than determined to help in whatever way she can, even if it means being back in the crosshairs.
The story is written by Mariko Tamaki and illustrated by Babs Tar. This is going to be the first of five parts. You can read the digital version here.
