For the past several months, there have been rumors that "Overwatch" will be having another huge DLC update soon. Specifically, earlier reports suggested that Sombra will finally be added to the roster as a DLC character.

Fans at the Reddit  forums have been talking about the mysterious character of Sombra and her chances of being introduced by Blizzard in "Overwatch." So far, the successful game studio behind the hit action role-playing game (ARPG) has not yet confirmed or denied the arrival of a new content pack this year, more so Sombra joining the roster in the next DLC update. While there are no clear signs from Blizzard regarding Sombra, the Reddit users are now speculating that the character will reveal herself on November 1, the day when the next "Overwatch" patch update will roll out.

People at Reddit who predict Sombra's appearance on Nov. 1 are said to have located a new secret "Overwatch" web page created by the character herself. The Reddit users claimed to have converted Mayan numbers into morse code that led them to Sombra's message.

"The moment has come. The emails have exposed the truth about Portero. The uprising has started and the people of Mexico is with us. It is the moment to Strike. We will take over his 11/1 event and we will strike him. I need you to do one thing," Sombra said as claimed by the Reddit users.

"Get access to the Security Chief Email and search for a way to help me with the attack. He might contact Portero soon. I have changed his password to: d0r*NuLw9", the character further revealed.

There is also a real chance that Sombra will finally be unveiled this November as Blizzard will be having this year's Blizzcon event on November 4 to 5. The game studio may use the opportunity to reveal the details about the much-awaited next DLC for "Overwatch."

Game director Jeff Kaplan already revealed that a new "Overwatch" hero will be introduced in the game very soon, according to iTech Post. Kaplan did not reveal the identity of the new hero they are working on, but the ongoing rumors about Sombra led the fans to believe that the game director is talking about the infamous character.

Several artwork leaks suggested to be for the upcoming "Overwatch" DLC include a picture of Sombra resembling a Latina woman with a unique hairstyle and special warrior costume. Sombra is shown to have a purple trenchcoat and an Uzi-like submachine gun.

Perhaps the players will confirm the theories about Sombra's arrival at the Blizzcon 2016, but for now, it would be wise to take these early rumors with a grain of salt.
