【Watch Angel Has Fallen Online】

The Watch Angel Has Fallen Onlinemysterious, unreleased Overwatch hero Sombra appears to have "hacked" the Overwatchsubreddit and its Discord channel, creating quite a buzz in the community as to whether she will finally be revealed.

Sombra has been the subject of a long-running alternate-reality game (ARG) that has tasked curious players with solving different puzzles and clues that involve the fictional universe of Overwatch. The Reddit hack changed users' profile pictures to Sombra's purple skull logo and changed a few other cosmetic elements.

A moderator of the subreddit made an announcement that a website that's part of the Overwatchuniverse is "under attack from mysterious assailants, who are seeking assistance with the hack." The website in question is lumerico.mx, which is the homepage for a potentially corrupt Mexican power company in the game.

The amount of traffic heading to LumériCo's website appears to have crashed the website initially, but some people have been able to get in. The official Discord channel for the Overwatchsubreddit also crashed under the weight of traffic but is currently accessible.

Players have been collaborating on /r/Overwatch and multiple Discord channels as they work out the different clues that Blizzard has left in the game and on the internet. Participants of the ARG have been able to help Sombra breach the LumériCo a bit, but the ARG isn't quite over.

This development in the ARG comes after an image of Sombra leaked Tuesday, showing off what the character will likely look like when she's available to play.

Along with that leaked image, a news article within the universe was posted on Blizzard's website, stating that a group called Los Muertos is "organizing a protest to coincide with LumériCo's unveiling of the Dorado nuclear plant on November 1st."

It's likely that this event coincides with that post.

Nobody knows exactly when Sombra will be unveiled, but with BlizzCon approaching on Friday it wouldn't be a surprise to see the reveal then. If the detectives involved in the ARG crack through the clues, though, Sombra could be revealed much sooner.
