Tracer of the Overwatch series is seen charging into battle, alongside Lara Croft, and Chun-Li of the Street Fighter series, which is well-represented throughout. Blanka, Sabat, and Ryu are all visible at one point or another.
That big battle sequence, of course, is full of other characters ready to take down the evil Sixers. The Iron Giant makes another appearance, having debuted in the first trailer, but we also get a look at an RX-78-2 Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam, not to mention the Battletoads!
