The "Overwatch" expansion is rumored to be released in October. Rumor has it that the new DLC will be adding more characters among the playable combatants and that may include the cloaked Sombra. Moreover, the "Overwatch" tournament has already begun.

"Overwatch" character Sombra is reportedly a playable character in the next expansion of the first shooter game. In fact, it is said that the next expansion would revolve around this character. The cloaked character had been a part of the game as an unplayable character.

Sombra is said to be working remotely outside the walls of Dorado, Mexico. The soon-to-be playable character is allegedly  highly skilled in keylogging and information gathering. It is also said that the strange-looking character had a major involvement in the global hacking incident in the game.
