'Overwatch' DLC release date news update: More clues suggest Sombra is included in upcoming DLC pack
There are several rumors about the upcoming DLC pack of "Overwatch," and one of the most popular speculations is that Sombra will finally be introduced in the game through a downloadable content. Blizzard Entertainment has not yet disclosed any information regarding the next expansion for "Overwatch," but the rumors are rife that the mysterious character is indeed coming.
The latest teaser about the rumored appearance of Sombra in the next "Overwatch" DLC is the decrypted secret message from a glitch in the "Overwatch" forum site.
Many gamers have thought that the glitch in the forum could be a hidden clue. The website was said to contain a post written in Spanish that reads "la que tiene la información; tiene el poder." Using a Spanish translator, it can be read in English as "she who has the information, has the power." This gave an impression to the fans that the mysterious message might be pertaining to Sombra herself.
The link included in the Spanish was first believed by the fans as a glitch. However, it was later found out that the glitch would resolve into a block code. People also learned that this block of text would be decoded into an ASCII skull, which looks familiar as it resembles the skull that appeared during the earlier "Overwatch" teaser that gave the first glimpse of Sombra.
Further investigation of the fans regarding Sombra's ASCII skulls led them to a new website dedicated to a fictional TV show featured in "Overwatch." The Spanish text on the website directs to automatic e-mail replies for those who will send a message to tips@amomentintime.com. The e-mail's domain is clearly in reference to "A Moment in Time" featured in the original "Overwatch" trailer.
On the other hand, the latest video teaser of "Overwatch" revealing the upcoming downloadable character, Ana, is said to include another clue for Sombra's surprise appearance in the next DLC pack. Express UK reported that the said video will end with a sudden moment of TV static, which will be translated into binary and finally to a QR code. The translated message is in Spanish, which means "Was that easy? Now that I have your attention, let's make things more difficult."
Sombra is known to be a stealthy character that keeps a lot of mysteries, so the mysterious clues that are either intentionally or unintentionally teased by Blizzard for the past few weeks may possibly refer to the character's arrival.
"Overwatch" is now playable on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platforms.
