Tracer’s Fortnite cheeks just lit the Overwatch timeline on fire again, and honestly? Good. Ten years after Blizzard yanked that victory pose and the internet lost its collective mind over her ass, Fortnite rolls in with a bigger, bolder version and the whole squad’s back in voice chat losing it. The collab dropped May 14 and her skin’s already the top seller at 1,600 V-Bucks while the 4,200 bundle with all the OW stuff is flying off the shelves. Overwatch’s own 10th anniversary event is sitting there looking sad by comparison, but nobody cares because everyone’s too busy screenshotting Tracer’s newly thicc posterior.
Muselk straight-up tweeted “NO SHOT THEY UN-NERFED TRACERS BUTT!” and the timeline went nuclear with “Thank you Fortnite” posts and people calling it the one thing Blizzard never had the courage to do. Reddit’s r/Overwatch is flooded with threads like “Tracer has a bigger butt in Fortnite than OW” and old-timers dropping “Tracergate” nostalgia bombs from 2016. Even Jeff Kaplan tried shutting it down on stream last month saying they never nerfed her cheeks in the first place, but Fortnite clearly said hold my V-Bucks and cranked the sliders anyway.
This isn’t just meme fuel. It’s proof the community’s still obsessed with the original Overwatch crew while Blizzard’s anniversary feels like an afterthought. Fortnite turned a decade-old controversy into free marketing and the internet’s eating it up. Your KD might be ass, but at least Tracer’s cheeks finally got the upgrade they deserved.
