Den nyaste hjälten till Blizzards hjälteskjutare Overwatch blev utannonserad under BlizzCon nyligen. Vi satte oss ned för att ta ett snack med Principal Game Designer Scott Mercer och Michael Chu, Senior Game Designer:
"It's been an interesting journey to say the least," Mercer said, "seeing the excitement of the community around Sombra has been really great to see and now here at BlizzCon players can not only actually see her [...] but there's also an animated short showing off her character and they can actually play it on the show floor. So I mean seeing that reaction from the fans has been really awesome."
När vi frågade lite mer om själva karaktären och inspirationskällor svarade Chu: <i>"We take inspiration from a lot of different areas at Blizzard. We're all gamers, we're all invested in geek culture, but Sombra, she kind of grew out of the omnic crisis that happened 30 years ago, so it was something that had a major impact globally. And out of that, she started hacking, and that was the way she managed to survive following the crisis, and she got better at it and she started taking the notice of a local organisation called Los Muertos, and they're a quasi-criminal organisation, they call themselves freedom fighters in Mexico, and she started doing hacking for them and quickly rose up through the ranks. As she got better and better she started taking the notice of much larger organisations throughout the world and if you watch any of the two Sombra movies that we released yesterday [...] you can start piecing together who this other organisation could be and what role she might take in it."<i>
