Ever since the "Sombra ARG" has shown leaks of the upcoming character in "Overwatch," fans have been giddy with excitement over the next character. Now, another leak has been spotlighted once more as the official for the mysterious new character has surfaced.
According to Gamespot, the image of Sombra has appeared online on the server for Blizzard's official "Overwatch" merchandise store. The artwork belonged to "Blizzard/'Overwatch' illustrator, concept artist, and character designer" John Polidora and it was first posted on site ArtStation, before it was moved to Imgur.
The gameplay of said character might be speculated as unique and interesting because it looks like she can use her energy to control mechanical beings, as based on the art of Polidora. In the art, Sombra looks all stylistic with her neon purple-like motif with the addition of thread-like purple energy coming out of her fingers. She appears standing on a giant robot called an Omnic, with the purple energy spreading across the mechanical being.
So far, that's just what fans have been getting out of the newcomer in the "Overwatch" roster, as Blizzard hasn't released any official detail on Sombra yet. But, so far, fans have already speculated that she will be like a hacker type of character and an advanced tech user, based on the numerous teases that Blizzard has set up. Another uncertain detail, however, is also the class Sombra will be grouped with.
Anyway, Blizzard might be revealing more of her as they are expected to show off a lot of "Overwatch" content during BlizzCon 2016, which happens on Nov. 4. Even more, the event might have something today based on the Dia de los Muertos Festival, which is relevant to Sombra's Mexican origin.
An earlier post on the Overwatch blog, mentioned the fictional gang called Los Muertos "organizing a protest to coincide with LumériCo's unveiling of the Dorado nuclear plant on November 1st." It may mean anything at the moment, but so far this has been considered a hint of a new map.
