Blizzard Pride 2024 collection supports The Trevor Project

Fans of Overwatch 2, World of Warcraft, and other games can now check out Blizzard's Pride 2024 collection. Announced on X by Overwatch 2 mythic producer cappugccino, the collection includes t-shirts, hoodies, and more. Below is a gallery of items that are available, as provided by Blizzard. It appears to be a mix of last year's collection and some new items.

According to cappugccino, the 2024 collection supports The Trevor Project. Purchasing from the collection from May 15 to June 30 results in 100% of the proceeds going to the non-profit organization, cappugccino continued. The Trevor Project, in particular, is a suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization that helps LGBTQ+ youth.

The official Blizzard account on X also posted about the Pride collection, noting that it's being led by the Blizzard LGBT+ Employee Network.

One of the items in the Blizzard Pride collection is a t-shirt featuring Tracer from Overwatch 2. This is because Tracer is a lesbian in the franchise. Her girlfriend is Emily. Other canon LGBTQ+ heroes in Overwatch 2 include Soldier: 76, Lifeweaver, Pharah, Baptiste, and Venture.

In the game itself, players can also equip Pride player icons and name cards. These items were released in 2023 in celebration of Pride Month.

Beyond Pride Month, the franchise posted short stories, comics, and announcements for its LGBTQ+ heroes and players. For example, Tracer and her girlfriend Emily were featured in a Christmas comic back in 2016. Meanwhile, Lifeweaver's origin story video from April 2023 featured the colors of the pansexual flag. In 2023, the February Loverwatch event championed LGBTQ+ players.

In terms of other LGBTQ+ characters in Blizzard's games, a couple of them include Chromie from World of Warcraft plus Varden Dawngrasp as one of Hearthstone's original characters.
