Overwatch 2 hero Sombra has gotten major changes, including a new ability that replaces another.
Overwatch 2's fine tuning of heroes continues and with a new season the game has given Sombra a major overhaul, arguably one of their biggest changes since the game's launch last year. Blizzard has been teasing a change to Sombra's kit in some way for a few months now, and the developer has now confirmed exactly what Sombra changes are being implemented.
Overwatch 2 Sombra rework confirmedThe biggest change in the Sombra re-work is the complete removal of one of her abilities, Opportunist. Previously Sombra's Opportunist ability is what allowed her to see low health enemies through walls while also giving her a 25% damage boost on hacked enemies; this has been removed except hacked enemies will still appear silhouetted through walls. The Sombra rework also makes a major change to the Stealth ability.
Overwatch 2 Sombra's new Virus abilitySombra mains upset about the removal of the 25% damage boost from the Opportunist ability should know that the Sombra rework gives her one brand new ability to make up for it. Called Virus, Sombra will now have a skill shot ability that deals damage over time to its target but also delivers"double damage and at a faster rate" if targets are already hacked.
Overwatch 2 Season 7 Release DateBlizzard has confirmed that the Overwatch 2 season 7 release date will be Tuesday, October 10, bringing the new seasons of the team shooter back to Tuesdays. Previous Overwatch 2 seasons have run for nine-week increments, with only Season 6 breaking that trend when Blizzard launched the Invasion season with PVE missions and more.
