Sombra is a game character in Blizzard's multiplayer first-person shooter game 'Overwatch.'

The latest details for "Overwatch" will feature more DLC characters next year and in-game glitches of Sombra revealed online.

It seems that several players found traces of in-game glitches in "Overwatch's" new DLC character Sombra as YouTube username Hoshizora discovered that Sombra's translocator can be used to explore the maps of the game in a skydiving effect.

The transolocator exploit can be used during the "Custom Games" mode where the hero abilities are set to have no cooldown. However, due to the nature of "Overwatch‘s" skyboxes, it seems that Sombra’s unique abilities make her the only hero currently known to be capable of surpassing the limits of the atmosphere and seeing everything that the stage designers have to offer.

Hoshizora also posted another in-game video of the Sombra glitch as the YouTuber repeatedly mashing the "E" key for the translocator, until she can teleport outside of the map and explore new grounds, Gamerant reported.

It is unknown yet if Blizzard Entertainment will provide patch fixes for the supposed Sombra glitches anytime soon, before the character is release in "Overwatch's" roster.

In other news, game designer Scott Mercer and assistant game director Aaron Keller teased gaming fans that more free characters are coming to "Overwatch" soon.

Mercer told Metro that there are many exciting ideas they could use for the characters, but it will be a matter of trying to find the right pace as they do not want to go too fast and overwhelm the community with so much change.

Keller added that it is not just heroes they will launch, but whole new game maps and modes that players can enjoy in "Overwatch" soon.

Blizzard Entertainment already announced two new maps; Oasis and Ecopoint Antarctica, as well as the "Arcade Mode" in "Overwatch".

Three characters are rumored to be joining "Overwatch" and these are Liao, Athena and Doomfist. "Overwatch" lead writer Michael Chu added that the game may feature a character from the LGBT community during a Q&A session. Chu went on to explain that Blizzard has not forgotten their promise of having diversity in their characters going so far as to note that sexual orientation was something that was considered early on in development.

Lastly, "Overwatch" will be free to play on Nov. 18-21 in the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. During the free weekend, players will have access to all 22 heroes and 13 maps that are available to play, including "Quick Play", "Custom Games" and "Weekly Brawl".

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