Sombra Is Now Live In Overwatch With Patch 1.5 Release

Here is your Overwatch PSA, which I do so very much like to bring your way, and this is a big one.

So, after the massive (and exasperating) ARG has gone by, and some time in the PTR, we are finally here. Sombra has been released in Overwatch. She's live now, and you can start using the hacker to jump around the battlefield.

She is hardly the only thing that has been added either. The smaller, situational map, Antarctica has also been added in, as well as a new arcade mode with some pretty out there game types like 1v1 and 3v3.

Of course, thre are also a ton of hero balances too, and you can grab a gander at what has changed too right here:
