Blizzard finally revealed Sombra at this year’s Blizzcon, the latest hero to be added to Overwatch.
Those who’ve been playing Overwatch will know that Blizzard has been teasing the reveal for Sombra for several months now, eventually culminating in an ARG event that didn’t reveal much about Sombra, instead opting to go mostly into Overwatch lore.
When the reveal finally came out at Blizzcon, not only was the character revealed, but she came accompanied with a brand new six minute short titled “Infiltration”, which you can view above.
Sombra will be made playable in the Overwatch PTR next week. You can read all about how she plays over on her game page.

It’s just like the last brown woman they added to the game: doesn’t go with the art style even slightly, they botched this worse than the visuals for Star Craft.

November 4, 2016 at 9:35 pmIn spanish, it would be latinas for females and latinos for male. Latinos also for general case (as in all latinos, male and female)

Kev Lew
November 5, 2016 at 8:45 amInvis messes with game flow. Then again, there are a lot of clustered entry points in overwatch so depending on how disruptive she is (has an SMG rather than instakill knife attacks) it could be what some attack teams need to break a stalemate.

November 5, 2016 at 8:53 amBravo Blizzard! Anti Russian propaganda, tumblrite characters, feminist plus minority pandering… What minority is this anyway, the character looks south American, but the accent sounds French to me.
This is kind of funny really. I was in a gamestop just three hours ago to buy Overwatch, but I couldn’t find a copy of your game. And just as I thought I would have to settle for steaming it, I am now instead sitting here, thanking GOD, that he saw fit to have your game out of stock so I wouldn’t wind up accidently supporting your left wing propaganda drive!

November 5, 2016 at 11:41 pmJesus christ, this is an overkill:
Anti-Russian Propaganda – When a significant percentage of Blizzard’s fans are russian gamers
Tumblrite, Feminist, Minority – Just because she is hispanic? What’s wrong with that?
buddyluv324
November 6, 2016 at 12:15 amTell that to Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instincts, Fatal Fury/KOF, etc. Nothing wrong with having characters from various ethnic groups and background. Don’t be so quick to get triggered just because you think having a certain character thats not white is left-winged propaganda.
The bigger issue that you’re clearly missing the mark on is when there are certain video game companies who will exploit said ethnic character in order to get people to buy the game instead of trying to sell the title as a whole on its own merits. It just shows a lack of faith these companies have in their titles and it also insults the people they’re trying to sell it to.
Smug
November 6, 2016 at 12:38 amThat’s implying today’s western media is anything but liberal/globalist pandering
It’s been obvious for a while now
buddyluv324
November 6, 2016 at 1:24 amWell you might see much of that in politics. But as for media, i think its a more case by case basis. Sometimes its more obvious, but at other times its more genuine. I think now however its getting harder to tell the difference given how we’ve seen these companies in gaming are quick to fall over themselves just for some gold star stickers. With that said though its a bit immature to just quickly label an ethnic character “left-wing pandering” when we all well know by now there’s a shit ton of characters in gaming that come in a much widder variety than Baskin Robins.
Smug
November 6, 2016 at 3:56 amBattlefield 1, Mafia 3, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, Fifa 17, Hitman Absolution, Baldur’s Gate recent extra content, Mirror Edge Reboot, Bioshock Infinite, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, etc. and this is what pop up in my mind when it comes to recent western vidya. American comics (especially from the big two) display the same kind of degeneracy and as well as the rare times I saw a TV lately.
Guin
November 6, 2016 at 10:11 amI hate “diversity.” Just make characters that satisfy my boner. Simple as that.
Guin
November 6, 2016 at 10:13 amA lot of Ruskies are self-hating and want to be like Americans.
Hispanics are the new blacks which just adding them in scores “diversity” points.
buddyluv324
November 6, 2016 at 10:41 amI dont know if Fifa should be added to the list being that soccer ( or European football) has been a widely popular sport worldwide with teams of various countries. That isnt forcing diversity. However I can agree to an extent that western gaming does force it at times as oppose to Japanese games. In the long run it really does hurt creators that want to make genuine, original characters.

RockstarRepublic
November 7, 2016 at 6:26 pmWho said its about whiteness or not? You are making that claim, not I. The affirmative action mindset is driving design decisions these days when it comes to both ethnic/national origin, sexuality/gender. People will logically question or make an observation based on that.
Btw, teleporting female Mexican hackers is pretty much an oxymoron in my book. I’d believe some variation of Mestizo from Brazil or Peru with those skills and style, not Mexico.
If that offends you or anyone else, I do not care. =)

November 7, 2016 at 9:59 pm“Another “affirmative action” character. Basically a Mexican Tracer.”
sure that doesnt sound salty at all
look if you panties are twisted or not, i dont care, i was simply commenting how, in a game about heroes from all over the world, talking about an “affirmative action character” is pretty damn stupid
is like saying street fighter has affirmative action characters for including fighters from all over the world
that is the objective truth

November 8, 2016 at 1:05 pmI can dig it. And purple is a an easy in to my heart. But what is with that eyebrow cut? Lots of latinos/hispanics I’ve seen lately on insta have those. Not ugly, but it’s like I’m missing the reason it got started.
