A post on NeoGAF proposes that Overwatch will have a new Hero character announced early next week.

The post, citing numerous references, suggests the new character, likely a support sniper named Sombra, will be unveiled in a Soldier 76 video to be released this Monday. It’s a compelling argument.

Overwatch goes live in Australia from 9.00 am AEST on 24 May. It’s available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

We’ll keep you updated on Sombra.
