Blizzard has been releasing previews of new Overwatch skins in anticipation of the game's upcoming event, Retribution. Sombra's new skin has people wondering if she'd like to speak to your manager.

"We don't expect Sombra to ever be a vicious assassin," Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan once said. Players seem to agree: Sombra is not typically understood to be a competitively "viable" character. One player took that notion as a challenge, and the result is beautiful.

After growing out her hair for three years, cosplayer Pion Kim decided to have her head shaved for a Sombra cosplay. However, she put those discarded locks to good use.

Video games can be a place for escape, but they can also help us find the courage to face difficult things in our own lives. Lately, games have genuinely inspired me to be a better person.

After a long, tedious ARG, Sombra is finally in the wild. For some, the biggest question about Sombra is how she'll change up Overwatch's competitive play. For others, it's "who is she gonna kiss?"

Roadhog's hook is like one of those old maths problems with the trains. If Hook X is approaching Sombra Y at a speed anchored to this reality only by wishful thinking, and Sombra Y decides to briefly exit this reality altogether by teleporting, who wins?

Our (aspirationally) weekly Overwatch show returns with a new name, Let's Break It Down, and a new hero to discuss! Sombra can hack everything, teleport and turn invisible. She is a handful, and also she has cool hacker hands. Listen to Cecilia, Heather and I talk about our favourite Sombra strategies. And also who we think she's smooching, because of course.

Sombra is finally in Overwatch! No longer confined to an ARG, she can now hack the planet as she pleases. Maybe, though, pros ought to steer clear of her for a bit.

Professional advocate for every shade of purple (and also hacker) Sombra is now available to play on Overwatch's live servers.

Today on Highlight Reel we have Vonnegut glitches, pot abuse, Genji genocide and Sombra hacks.

Sombra is a free spirit, a rebel. You can't put her in a box. I mean that literally, by the way.

When Blizzard finally showed off Overwatch's latest character last week, they didn't just do it on the internet. They also had a version of her in the flesh at Blizzcon.

Before Overwatch's latest character, Sombra, was unveiled at BlizzCon over the weekend, she was the focal point of an alternate reality game (ARG) that lasted months. It was like a hydra. Fans would reach the end of one countdown, only for the belligerent beast to sprout two more. At BlizzCon, I spoke to two of Overwatch's designers about that.

Sombra hacked her way into our hearts today, now that Blizzard decided to stop messing around and just announce her.

Sombra is basically the Overwatch version of the DDOS script kiddies who bring down services like Steam and PSN. She takes crap you rely on, she breaks it and then she disappears. In the right hands, I think she's gonna be devastating.

Today, at BlizzCon, Blizzard unveiled Sombra, Overwatch's newest hero. The announcement comes after an apparently endless wild goose chase for information about her that has left fans exhausted.

After a long and protracted ARG, the wait is finally over for Overwatch fans. Blizzcon is just around the corner, and with it the (probable) reveal of new hero, Sombra. And just ahead of the annual convention, the first official art has been found.

Imagine a world in which the Sombra Overwatch ARG never ends -- a horror world where there are only unsolved mysteries and the bitter, masochistic masses who hunt them down, forever. Are you picturing it? Here's a twist: You don't need to! You're living it.

The hunt for info on Overwatch's next hero, a stealthy hacker named Sombra, has brought over 7,000 fans into Blizzard's alternate reality game (ARG). But some bystanders have become unwilling participants in the ARG as well, as players hungry for Overwatch's hacker have partaken in some hacking of their own.
