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.

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.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
