A bunch of Halloween skins and a Spanish comic for Overwatch isn’t the only thing that’s been leaked from Blizzard HQ. A Russian Overwatch group leaked the convincing-looking Sombra render on Reddit here, though the post has now been taken down.
Here’s the cropped text about Overwatch’s newest hero Sombra in its entirety:

Lore is cool, look is cool – can’t wait to find out if Sombra’s abilities are cool, too. If this is legit, it’s a huge relief that Sombra isn’t some femme Reaper-lite clone, but instead a cyberpunk-styled badass with a dope undercut and some kind of SMG.
The reveal that Overwatch fans may also look forward to a tower defense “brawl” for Halloween is almost as exciting as seeing the mischievous face of the ARG in the flesh, rather than an ASCII skull counting down another interminable few percentage points.
