Lore Watch Episode 37: Overwatch’s Sombra and the Global Conspiracy

Welcome to episode 37 of Lore Watch! Lore Watch is a podcast that explores a single lore subject about the World of Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, or any other games that interest us. Join hosts Anne Stickney, Matthew Rossi, and Joe Perez for an in-depth look at the evolving stories of the games we all love.

This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt and Joe turn their attention and discussion to Overwatch, namely the reveal of Sombra. But it ends up being less of a Sombra discussion and more of a talk about the global conspiracy Sombra encountered. What could that conspiracy be? Who is involved? And just what is behind one of Overwatch’s most carefully guarded secrets: Why did the Omnic Crisis happen, and why did Overwatch fall apart?
