Could this be a young Sombra?

Above is the cover from the new Blizzard/Dark Horse Overwatch graphic novel. The 100 page book will tell the story of the original Overwatch strike team. Depicted in the image are Reinhardt, Torbjörn, Reaper, Soldier:76, Ana Amari and 3 other characters who remain unknown (at least to me). The first appears to be a type of mech (possibly a front-line omnic), the second is an omnic more similar appearance to Zenyatta and the third (who could possibly be Sombra) is a young girl sporting glasses. The character gives off a hacker vibe to me and we know that Sombra has a pre-exsisting relationship with Reyes.

Let the theorizing begin!

UPDATE* Nvm, pretty sure it's the previously unseen founding member Liao. Still interesting stuff.

isn't Liao the guy on the far left side of the picture in Ana Amari's origin video? pretty sure Liao is a male name.

She might be Sombra, or she might not be. however...


... Is it just me or does that Omnic look like a cross between Zenyata and Murky?????

[MrBitterness]

Very interesting indeed!

[Raetary]

could be, but i still go with alejandra being sombra.

Yes, that's most likely him, except Liao is a surname. We don't know his name.

We were playing with Ana before SDCC even opened it's doors.

Blizzard loves to add hints and Easter eggs along the game, I mean this morning they published a image with a possibility of (hint of) Sombra being the next hero to be released! Though there is some confusion (ok I am confused mostly) . So to put it simply 'you never know what's up with Bizz peeps'

sombra is pretty much confirmed to be the next hero, not only through the hints but jeff and co. wouldnt talk about her like they do if she wasnt hero #23

[BearyWatch]

So is there an official statement about this?

[WeAreStriatum]

Has a resemblence to all the other pictures ive seen

Didn't they say the guy in the screenshot wasn't Liao during a the Ana: Declassified livestream?

Havent seen that. Well, who else is important enough to be in a groupie shot alongside the founding members of Overwatch?

You never know how Blizzard may surprise you. They might switch to another hero ? Or is there an official news that I missed?

Nah I guess Sombra is next, looking at how active Overwatch team is over it. This is a bit old news but still it pretty much sums up that Sombra is the upcoming hero!
