'Overwatch' DLC release date news 2016: Sombra to become stealth hero?
The next DLC update for "Overwatch" is rumored to feature a new stealth character. Blizzard Entertainment has not yet released details about the contents of the next expansion pack, but as early as now, the players are expecting a very interesting character coming to the game.
According to the latest rumors, a new character in the game named Sombra will be gracing "Overwatch" in the next downloadable content. In the next update, a new character will finally be introduced along with some interesting features.
The rumor about Sombra in "Overwatch" started in the Reddit forums when a Reddit member under the username "Colonelcactus" posted several clues that the character is in fact entering the realm of the game. He provided some indications already present in the game, pointing to the arrival of Somba as a stealth hero. According to him, Sombra will be a stealth-based hero in the "Overwatch" world as hinted by the current lines of the present characters.
One of the hints is shown by the present heroes in the game like Reinhardt, Reaper and Tracer. These heroes are seen talking to an unseen enemy, where this villainous character is possible to be a voiceline that will be activated when a stealth hero is present. The voiceline may also be activated when the player is trying to track down Symmetra's Teleporter, a tool to inform the allies of the opponents' arrival.
The arrival of Sombra as a stealth hero is also figured out by some gamers that have already explored other maps such as Dorado. In fact, the "Overwatch" game director himself, Jeff Kaplan, talked about the inclusion of Sombra in the game in an interview with Kotaku. He revealed that the game will continue to provide hints about Sombra and that the character will make its presence felt when the time is up.
Meanwhile, Blizzard has recently addressed the issue regarding the "Competitive Mode" of the game. To address the problem, the game developer company will be implementing hero limits in the "Competitive Mode." As stated by Kaplan in the official "Overwatch" forums, the hero stacking has proven to make the "Competitive Mode" less fun, and their team is planning a one hero character per match rule.
The "Competitive Mode" is an exciting addition to an already action-packed multiplayer shooter game, although the particularly new game mode has led other players to resort to so-called hero stacking. Many people, including the Blizzard team, have observed that some players would rather use specific stacked compositions to mess up other gamers.
