The popular theory was right; Ana is Sombra, as her Shrike skin on the PTR shows.

There is no actual confirmation that Ana and Sombra are the same character.

There is no actual confirmation that Ana and Sombra are the same character.

An alternate skin published by the devs themselves doesn't qualify as canon? Under that same logic, Reaper and Reyes aren't the same character.

In other news... the Torbjorn x Mercy ship continues to sail! Another hint dropped by Blizzard in Ana's short letter.

Still waiting for the couple's cute Halloween costumes! Do we have to wait until Halloween before they go in?

Wait what? A letter?

You are again making an assumption based on no facts.

I'm pretty sure the skin in question isn't named 'Sombra.'

Where did Blizzard actually say "This is what Sombra looks like"?

What you are actually doing is using an unlabeled picture found in game that people assumed was Sombra as proof that Ana is Sombra.

Looks to me like the unlabeled picture was just of Ana.

Until Blizzard actually says "This is Sombra" there is no actual evidence to support that assumption.

Compare the "who is Sombra?" newspaper clipping and her case file in Dorado with her Shrike skin.

You might want to do that yourself as its clear you are making connections where there are none.

The case file with the name Sombra has no image. The file with an image has no name.

The newspaper clipping looks nothing like anything we have seen yet. Its a ragged figure in a cloak with no features that you can make out.

I'm not saying she cannot be Sombra, I'm simply saying there is nothing that says she is.

Look for yourself, the similarities are undeniable

Again you are not listening.

There are two files. One has a name with no image. One has an image with no name. You are making a gross assumption that the file with an image, that is not named anywhere, is Sombra.

Your proof is just a random image that has no name attached to it and that people assumed might belong to Sombra.

It's a chain of links; a hooded figure named Sombra similar to Ana that is similar to the masked character, the rooftop shot of a hooded character with a similar rifle and so on. The entire point of the two ideos was to link that information together in a simple, easy to view manner for you.

So its a chain of assumptions with nothing that actually provides any real proof. Nice try. I mean sure lets link two separate folders on two separate maps that are folder shaped as unquestionably containing info on the same person.

And you mean the rooftop shot that has already been debunked? Again, nice try.

[Demoncrash]

Copy paste of what i said in the Sombra thread.

According to the 2 pieces of hidden code in the Origins trailer for Ana, Sombra will be next hero revealed.

The first code decodes to 2 words. SOMB RA.
The second one is in Spanish and when you use a repeating cypher of 23, you get "She who has information, has power".

So a repeating cypher of 23 to get that message. With Ana we have 22 heroes in the game.
Guess whose the 23rd.

Ana's not Sombra. The picture of the Shrike skin came from Temple of Anubis, whereas the Sombra files are from Dorado. People just thought they were the same thing as we literally had no information about either at the time. There's absolutely no reason why an Egyptian hero would use a Spanish codename, or why her files would be on a Spanish map. Sombra is the 23rd hero as hinted and teased in the secret message in Ana's origin video.

[zito]

Compare the "who is Sombra?" newspaper clipping and her case file in Dorado with her Shrike skin.

and it looks nothing similar except for the fact that they have a hood. In that case reaper might be sombra

Sombra and Ana are not the same person. Sombra is a tech savy sneaking hacker and Ana is a sniper in the back lines. If Ana was Sombra should would of been named Sombra or her Shrike skin would be named Sombra just like Reyes is named Reaper.

Even blizzard tweeted about it, she isn't sombra

[ThatsOurEric]

The only thing I didn't like was the Junk Rat/Road hog comic. Not that the story was bad, but why was it that
Road Hog always spoke in "...."? In-game he clearly has a voice, he clearly talks, so why not in the comic?

Always thought it was dumb.

[Raetary]

btw, here is all of anas voice acting.
Ana+Pharah:
Ana: I'll be watching your back out there, Fareeha.
Pharah: Then I have nothing to worry about.

Pharah: I always dreamed of the day we would fight together.
Ana: Wanting a better life for you is all I ever dreamed of.

Ana+Widowmaker:
Ana: Gerard was a fool to love someone like you.
Widowmaker: You don't know anything about him.

Widowmaker: You were once a legend, but what are you now? Just a shell of a woman.
Ana: I take it you don't want my autograph, then.

Ana+Mercy:
Mercy: You know, Ana, there are procedures we could look into to repair your eye.
Ana: You're very kind, but I'm comfortable with who I am now. It's a good reminder.

Ana+Reaper:
Reaper: Guess you're going back on my list, Ana.
Ana: What happened to you, Gabriel?

Reaper: I shouldn't be surprised you took his side.
Ana: You never gave me much choice.

Ana+Soldier:76:
Ana: For a man of your years, you're looking pretty good, Jack!
S:76: Well, all that stuff they pumped into me has to be good for something.

S:76: Ana, we all thought you were dead. Why didn't you tell me?
Ana: You of all people are going to ask me that?

Ana: Seems like neither of us like being dead very much.
S:76: Old soldiers are hard to kill.

Ana+Reinhardt:
Ana: Reinhardt, I must say you're looking quite well. This life must agree with you.
Reinhardt: And you are looking as lovely as ever.

Reinhardt: Ana? How could this be?! I thought you were dead...
Ana: I'm sorry, Reinhardt. After everything that happened, I needed time.

Ana+McCree:
McCree: It's an honour fightin' by your side, ma'am.
Ana: Oh, you always were a charmer.

Ana+Torbjörn:
Torbjörn: Ana?! They all thought you were dead.
Ana: Well, I had to come back. I was worried you'd get bored not being able to stick your nose in my business.

Ana on Anubis:
Ana: It feels good to be home.

You mean this one?

Yeah, it does kind of need resolving why she'd be working with Overwatch now, and not with Talon.

It might imply that Gerard was actually an asshole.

[Jessicka]

It might imply that Gerard was actually an asshole.

Why would it do that? Widowmaker was brainwashed and mentally conditioned to kill him in her sleep, she didn't go about it entirely willingly.

[Kaleredar]

No, but why make the note that Ana didn't "know" Gerard, then? It would have to be something personal about him. So unless Widowmaker regrets doing what she's doing or has done, which she's made no prior mention of or even hinted at, then the only other personal thing I can think of is that Gerard wasn't actually a 100% "good" guy, and Ana never knew that "side" of him. Hence Widowmaker reproaching Ana for commenting that Gerard shouldn't have fallen in love with her.
