The first day of Blizzcon 2016 has arrived and we already got good news. Sombra is official, most people already knew it, but Blizzard has finally made the official reveal for their new hero in Overwatch and they did it with yet another short animated film.
It had already been teased a bit and fans went crazy trying to find out what and who the new hero would be, then she was leaked ahead of the planned reveal. Now the official announcement is here and just like "The Last Bastion" this is basically a really long trailer for the game and yet another reason why Overwatch should have a story mode, Blizzard clearly knows how to write stories.
Sombra's info page lists the offensive character's stats, powers, and backstory, but you can check out her abilities below:
MACHINE PISTOL
- Sombra’s fully-automatic machine pistol fires in a short-range spread.
HACK
- Sombra hacks enemies to temporarily stop them from using their abilities, or hacks first aid kits to make them useless to her opponents.
THERMOPTIC CAMO
- Sombra becomes invisible for a short period of time, during which her speed is boosted considerably. Attacking, using offensive abilities, or taking damage disables her camouflage.
TRANSLOCATOR
- Sombra tosses out a translocator beacon. She can instantly return to the beacon’s location while it is active (including when it’s in mid-flight).
EMP
- Sombra discharges electromagnetic energy in a wide radius, destroying enemy barriers and shields and hacking all opponents caught in the blast.
Sombra will be joining Overwatch on PC and consoles in the upcoming weeks.
