While "Overwatch" has been tickling fans' excitement for updates such as patches, Halloween update, and skins, they were at it again when fans thought they were being teased with the "Sombra" ARG timer. However, fans were more disappointed than excited at what they had found as the timer ended: another puzzle.

According to Eurogamer, fans in the "Overwatch" community are started get impatient and "sick and tired" with how Blizzard keeps teasing them with the new content. Just recently the "amomentincrime.com" website countdown ended, with fans holding their breaths and crossing their fingers for getting the new character Sombra. With months of complex clues and coded "Overwatch" messages, all the fans received from the countdown was another clue in Spanish, translated as:

... Connecting ...

... Protocol v1.95 Sombra started ...

... finished Transmission - ending load ...

... Charging complete. Bastion unit E-54 compromised ...

Mentioning the character Bastion does not mean any substantial information. The unit number "E-54" is just the ID of all the Bastion robots in the world of "Overwatch."

Another clue was that website's HTML code gave another small detail which was read as "v1.4.0.2.324??" which may probably be pertaining to a future game build. Currently, the game build of "Overwatch" is v1.4.0.2.32374.

Another recent update was also revealed last Tuesday showing a new Blizzcon skin for Bastion for the console (the PC version already has that) and some updates. According to Express, the update 1.11 has sought out some bugs bothering the players and fixed them. But even more, the update may have accidentally revealed something through a glitch.

The glitch revealed that new content is definitely coming to the game, but still no Sombra. Another thing that was revealed was that when accessing the Hero Gallery there have been more slots for different unlockables for each character. However, upon returning to the gallery, the numbers of slots have gone back to normal.

Even if "Overwatch" and Blizzard are loved by the fan community, fans are tired of their teases and want more definite answers already. That being said, announcements regarding the character Sombra might be given out at BlizzCon next month.
