Overwatch is a multiplayer first-person shooter game developed by Blizzard Entertainment for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platforms.

New details for "Overwatch" will feature Sombra's possible announcement at Blizzcon 2016 and new character skins this month.

It seems that new updates on Sombra's rumored inclusion in "Overwatch's" roster will likely happen this month as The countdown shown on website amomentincrime.com is currently at 73 percent, and some predict that the timer will reach 100 percent around Oct. 16-17, a few weeks before Blizzard Entertaiment's annual Blizzcon event.

The latest comment added to the website is read "Parece que se están calentando un poco las cosas... tendré que pasar desapercibida mientras esto se finaliza," which translates to "It seems that things are are warming up a little... gotta go unnoticed while it completes". This hints that there might not be any clues for Sombra anymore, when it reaches 100 percent and Blizzard will likely announce the character at Blizzcon, Mobile&Apps reported.

Previous reports speculated that Athena could come out first in "Overwatch" rather than Sombra. Athena will be sporting an Omnic body based from an old photo of the Overwatch team right before the organization disbanded. Her Omnic body will have a female shape with a single eye and a logo of her name on her head.

It has also been theorized that Athena may join "Overwatch" as a support for other heroes, other rumors stated that Athena could be released first before Sombra.

In other news, new character skins for "Overwatch" have been teased this month as the latest DLC update could be "Halloween" themed.

Reddit username TheFunyunKnight posted several "Overwatch" audio files and pointed to some special events this month. Reinhardt has two lines related to Oktoberfest such as “ Oktoberfest! My favorite time of year! Now where are my lederhosen? ” and “ Do I have time for a currywurst? Hmm? ”, while there are hints of "Overwatch" Halloween event specific lines like “ My Halloween costume? Cyborg ninja. ” from Genji, “ Trick or treat. ” for Soldier: 76 and “ Ooh, scary! ” from Tracer.

Another clue would be the many fan arts for "Overwatch" characters in Halloween costumes such as Genji being a magician, Zenyata dressing up as a ghost, McCree a musketeer and Reaper as the Headless Horseman, GameNGuide reported.

"Overwatch" is currently available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC platforms.
