According to the Comic-Con 2016 International website Blizzard will be discussing the creative process behind Overwatch's "newest hero."

Blizzard developers James Waugh (director of story & creative development), Michael Chu (senior designer, Overwatch), and Arnold Tsang (assistant art director, Overwatch) present a behind-the-scenes look into the creative process of developing the art, design, and story for Overwatch's newest hero. Q&A session moderated by Kim Phan (senior manager, esports).

The way the brief statement reads implies that the developers will be talking about the process of creating a hero rather than delving into details. But I struggle to imagine the team would bring up a new hero without at least mentioning something to satiate player's curiosity, myself included.

So far, no information is concrete though there's been plenty of speculation. Word on the street says the hero will be named Sombra and function as a healing sniper.  Will she shoot players from afar to heal them? If that's the case I hope she has some defenses to ward off Reaper, Tracer, and Winston. We shall see.
