Overwatch: Is new hero Sombra coming with the Halloween-themed event?

11 Oct 2016

A Russian Overwatch group has taken to Reddit to leak news that new hero Sombra will be released with the game’s Halloween-themed event.

The image above allegedly comes from an internal Blizzard document detailing the release.

The document says Sombra was recruited by Talon — the organisation that Widowmaker and Reaper belong to. Sombra will apparently play a role in the game’s new Halloween-themed event, which itself will see a series of new comics released to celebrate.

We’ll report back as more is known.

Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
