Report: Blizzard Store Leak Reveals Artwork Of Possible Overwatch Character Sombra
Last night some artwork hit Blizzard Entertainment's official merchandise store that showcased Sombra, the long-rumored addition to Overwatch's hero roster. Though Sombra has been at the heart of the elaborate ARG and several leaks, Blizzard has not confirmed the character is joining the game anytime soon.
However, a recent post set in Overwatch universe detailing the exploits of Sombra, as well as this leak on the eve of Blizzcon suggests there might be some news on that front soon. Here's the image:
It's worth noting that the name at the bottom right hand corner of the piece is John Polidora, an artist who works on Overwatch.

Our Take
Leaks upon leaks. It's likely we won't get any official word on any Overwatch additions until Blizzcon, which is luckily just around the corner. Still, the image definitely gives fans something to be excited about until then.
