Are You With Us?

Alive is the second animated short for Overwatch. It features Tracer and Widowmaker.

Description[ | ]

"One shot, one kill..."

Widowmaker's web is spun...but who is her intended prey?

Alive weaves a tale of Widowmaker, the peerless Talon assassin who stalks her prey with deadly efficiency. We spend a fateful night in London's King's Row — where you'll discover how one death can change everything.[1]

Trivia[ | ]

  • The timeframe of the short runs from 5:05—5:15 GMT.[2]
  • The timing of the short relative of Recall varies between sources. Background lines in Recall indicate that Alive takes place shortly after it.[3] However, Tracer—London Calling Issue 4 depicts Recall as occurring days after Alive.
  • The cinematic differs in game:
    • Widowmaker uses Grapple as a steady feature.
    • Tracer able to blink multiple times rather than 3 times.
    • Tracer able to throw a pulse bomb like a discus and Widowmaker able to shoot it.
    • Bullet phases through the chronal accelerator.
