After months of rumours, leaks and teases, Blizzard has finally unveiled Overwatch's new character, Sombra.

Sombra is, as rumours claimed, a hacker, and seems like a good fit for those of you who like to go on the offensive. Armed with a fully-automatic machine pistol and cybernetic powers she seems to be a force to be reckoned with.

Her hack ability can be used on health kits to make them useless for the opposing team, or on enemy players to stop them from using their abilities. If you find yourself in a bad spot you can use her thermoptic camouflage, which makes her invisible and faster while not attacking or taking damage, but shuts off the moment she takes damage or uses any of her powers.

If there's too many enemies around, you can teleport to a transmitter beacon you've already placed somewhere on the map. Play well enough and you can be a real pain for the enemy by using her ultimate, an EMP. This disables enemy shields, turrets, abilities and ultimates caught in the wide blast radius.

You can see her powers in the animated short below. Does she seem worth the wait?
