Janina Kowalska. Is Sombra giving us info on another character?

It's probably Ana. The wound and the age range kinda matches. Maybe an alias?

It's weird right? The injury seems to match up with Ana but the name is so not Egyptian.

We have to go deeper.

What if Ana is actually dead and Janina Kowalska is impersonating her?

I am onboard with this theory. The Ana we know isn't Ana, She is an impostor.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

But... isn't this ana? It's got her eye injury and is around the right age.
I'm confused.

Sombra is a split personality of Ana! It all makes sense now!

 

[optimus8936]

But... isn't this ana? It's got her eye injury and is around the right age.
I'm confused.

Anas name is Ana Amari, not Janina Kowalski.

But it is strange though.

 

[I-hate-u]

Now is the best time to release Sombra, now that we're between seasons.

 

[Red Arremer]

But... isn't this ana? It's got her eye injury and is around the right age.

It's Ana, yeah. Right age, same wound, and "Janina Kowalska" is the Polish variant of "Jane Doe".

 

[Plesiades]

It's Ana, yeah. Right age, same wound, and "Janina Kowalska" is the Polish variant of "Jane Doe".

Well, that explains it. Her encounter with Widowmaker probably happened over there.

Well shit.

[Rize_21]

Well in Ana's comic,

Spoiler

she was about to ruin the plans of Reaper/Sombra, of course Sombra is trying to find a way to shut her down.

The hype is too much, good night.

 

[Red Arremer]

But there's more to my tale [/reinhardt]

If you look closely at the right empty space, you can make out the Sombra logo:

And the heartbeat spells out "amomentincrime", which leads to: http://amomentincrime.com/

TOO MUCH

 

[wamberz1]

What if Ana is actually dead and Janina Kowalska is impersonating her?

I like this theory
Or it's an alternate personality developed from the trauma of losing an eye
Or Talon brainwashed Ana to become a sleeper agent
It would mean the pictures of Ana with the mask on and sombra in the caption would make sense

Edit:

But there's more to my tale [/reinhardt]

If you look closely at the right empty space, you can make out the Sombra logo:

and it says: "amnestic to event" right there!!!

 

[Kayo Police]

Red You are a wizard aren't you?

 

[Pilgrimzero]

What if Ana died and Sombra is masquerading as her to infiltrate Overwatch?

For gaming purposes they would be 2 diff characters though.

Edit: beat me to it

The gift that keeps on giving.

On a serious note, I would love if in 5 years Blizzard reveals that a new character was impersonating and old one. That way they can rework them with new abilities

Blizzard are killing it with the ARG stuff, so much hype.

L.Lee?

 

[darklin0]

The fact that there is so much Spanish makes me happy.

 

[Kouichi]

Oh man I'm getting really hyped now.

Sombraaaaaaa

 

[Plesiades]

The fact that there is so much Spanish makes me happy.

The avatar in the Battle.net forums was Day of the Dead inspired, so it's safe to say that she's from Mexico.

 

[LiK]

3 kills with Genji Ult. So close again. Always 3

 

[ramyeon]

The avatar in the Battle.net forums was Day of the Dead inspired, so it's safe to say that she's from Mexico.

This has been all but officially confirmed for quite some time now.

 

[mollipen]

I'm just a dumb white person who doesn't understand Mexican culture, but I looooooooved Las Catrinas from Sunset Overdrive. If Sombra has a similar kind of "Day of the Dead" look, I'd be in heaven.

 

[Rize_21]

L.Lee?

as in Liao Lee? the cryostisis expert?
Lawd have mercy.

 

[Red Arremer]

The avatar in the Battle.net forums was Day of the Dead inspired, so it's safe to say that she's from Mexico.

Her in-game clues are on Dorado, her name is Spanish, her ARG clues all have been in Spanish, and her "logo" is a sugar skull, so yeah, it's pretty safe to assume she's Mexican.

 

[Skii]

I did the thing where I was playing like shit the entire session and kept playing for another 5 games lol.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

what the fuck is even going on

 

[Red Arremer]

as in Liao Lee? the cryostisis expert?
Lawd have mercy.

We know nothing about Liao other than their name being Liao. We don't know if their name also is Lee, nor if they had anything to do with Mei's cryostasis.

One of the reasons I've been thinking of making those lore videos, cause I realllllly wanna talk about Liao haha.

Ok so that means that Sombra comes out on announced tomorrow and she officially goes live 11/1 (Dia de los muertos/Day of the dead)?

 

[ramyeon]

what the fuck is even going on

¿Quién es 'Sombra'?

 

[Plesiades]

There are some people reporting that the "last post" timer is actually a countdown.

 

[Nazo]

I stop checking this thread for a few hours and all this crazy Sombra shit is going down!

What is happening!?

 

[ramyeon]

There are some people reporting that the "last post" time is actually a countdown.

Yeah it was mentioned earlier in this thread.

Ok so that means that Sombra comes out on PTR tomorrow and she officially goes live 11/1 (Dia de los muertos/Day of the dead)?

They're not gonna leave her on PTR for over 2 months.

 

[Plesiades]

Yeah it was mentioned earlier in this thread.

Sorry, didn't see that. Maybe that's when http://amomentincrime.com/ will go live?

 

[toadsworth]

I bet she'll be released in conjunction with the halloween event, so late september/early october.

 

[Squire]

[Sombra hype intensifies]

 

[killdatninja]

Yeah it was mentioned earlier in this thread.

They're not gonna leave her on PTR for over 2 months.

Yeah I realize the time difference and corrected, Ana was the first character... we got her within weeks of the announcement. I'm not sure if they're going to the same with Sombra.

 

[Prelude.]

I bet she'll be released in conjunction with the halloween event, so late september/early october.

They can't keep the hype going for a month or even more. If the hints are ramping up it's because they're about to release her.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I've beat this one Tracer 1v1 as Ana more than she did. Somehow landed most of my sleep darts.

lol

 

[ramyeon]

They can't keep the hype going for a month or even more. If the hints are ramping up it's because they're about to release her.

Pretty much. They're not doing a countdown like this for nothing.

 

[LiK]

Joined a random game and no one was support and losing. I picked Zen for fun and helped them win. Got 34% kill participation lol

 

[exYle]

SOMBRA HYPE OMG

 

[Squire]

They can't keep the hype going for a month or even more. If the hints are ramping up it's because they're about to release her.

The countdown can't end without a trailer or something equally substantial. They basically have to actually show her now that they've played this.

If the ARG pisses people off to an extent that's noticeable, they will have fucked up.

We know nothing about Liao other than their name being Liao. We don't know if their name also is Lee, nor if they had anything to do with Mei's cryostasis.

OW's origins comic is coming soon too no?we might get a lot of real informations in this,
I really enjoy the lore, it'd be great if you make some videos about it.

 

[Ramirez]

5 Gaffers are on and none of them are in a group. You have failed me.

I put a few bucks down on some crates at the last minute, the shame was too much for me to play afterwards.

I didn't get Widow's skin, I don't know why I wanted it, but I did.

 

[I-hate-u]

Pls no that's too far.

 

[maouvin]

OW's origins comic is coming soon too no?

Digital version comes out on November. Still some way to go.

edit: oh and Red Arremer, please post your lore videos on the lore thread too. Easier to find in case something makes this thread go wild

Wanna play now? I'm in menu

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Just some random Reddit comment. Can anyone confirm?

Some maps have changed! There's a "cave of mystery" sign near the first curve on Route 66, and a "los muertos" spray to the right outside of the attack spawn in Hollywood. Probably more stuff, too.
