Anyone here tired of the Overwatch Sombra game yet?

After a week of silence, Sombra, the hacker who takes forever to get anything done, is still hard at work exposing the corruption behind Lumerico, a Mexico-based technology company set in the Overwatch universe.

At around 7 p.m. EDT on Tuesday night, the omnics page on the Lumerico website had changed. Mayan text had popped up, mentioning Tzol’kin and a bunch of words about animals. Those animals corresponded with numbers on the Mayan calendar, and when the sequence was decoded it said “EXECUTEATTACK.”

When you visit https://lumerico.mx/EXECUTEATTACK/index.html, you see a new message from Sombra, which when translated, according to reddit user Ch4rles_, says: “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.”

“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”

When you log in to the admin page - which looks like this - it doesn't look like it does anything currently. The Overwatch community is still trying to figure out what the command prompt does on the admin page. On the news page of Lumerico’s site, Sombra posted one more message to us:

“The king Guillermo Portero of LumériCo cordially invites you, his loyal followers, to participate in his coronation and to celebrate his unlimited greed and the treason to the people in México. We have coordinated the publication of the info that proves that Portero is a snake, that has robbed riches from our country for his own good. He has corrupted our government, converted our brothers and sisters in beggars, and won't stop until he has the country under his grasp. But us, Los Muertos, won't tolerate the celebration of his reign of corruption. We will show the new conquistadors who will take control of this country! The first of november, we will overthrow the King Snake and we will celebrate the recovery of our home.”

Now there’s nothing to do but wait until Nov. 1, when Sombra should -hopefully- finally reveal her face. At this point I just want to see Sombra so Blizzard stops putting out clues. The Overwatch community just wants to see the hacker lady already.
