The Sombra ARG Explained
Рет қаралды 30,156
5 жыл бұрынDisclaimer: Halfway through my work on this video I got a job at one of the many tendrils that extends out of Activision Blizzard. My contract is over now though.
Even though I worked at the Vicarious Visions as a QA tester for Destiny 2, I still technically worked for the company that made Overwatch. There are no company secrets in this video, this is all public knowledge. I don’t know anything about the future of Overwatch, Blizzard is a impenetrable castle of mysteries even to me.
Anything I say or any view I express on this channel: those are mine, that’s all me. I don’t represent Activision Blizzard as a whole. That’d be like looking at a single grain of sand that nobody likes and he probably smells bad and using it as the benchmark for judging the whole beautiful mandala. Enjoy the video.

god i miss the hype around sombra in 2016. Some people hated the arg for being too long. I wish i could go back in time to 2016, change nothing, but relive it.

I'm reminiscing right now about this ARG. This is what got me into the medium as a kid and I still think it is one of the best that came about, which makes me really sad about Overwatch and where it is along with Blizzard as a company, I really think this section of time with the ARG was the peak of what Overwatch was. This was such a creative, engaging and sincerely heartfelt endeavor to get the community excited about a new character. I wish we could've gotten more story out of this game, I would've loved a Sombra focused series.

As someone who had absolutely no clue what the whole ARG deal was before half an hour ago, I can safely say that this video is tremendous. The humour is brilliant and everything is explained in a helpful manner and it really took me through a journey. I have a beard now. How did I get on top of this mountain? I feel like learning martial arts.

I remember this well. I spent days listening to people on ARG discord. It was so hype. I’ll never forget the hype around the skybox code, people shouting “IT’S A SHOTCODE!”. And then there was some SSTV signals, compasses in Irvine on Google maps, people went crazy. Big nostalgia. Thanks for this video. It’s funny though how we still know nothing about this whole puzzle, who made it and everything
