Ana Origin Video
On July 12, 2016, a video for a new Overwatch hero named Ana was released. By pausing the video between 2:11 and 2:12, strings of hex were discovered:
65 76 2E 2E 2E 7B 76 20 66 62 72 20 63 7E 72 79 72 20 7B 76 20 7E 79 71 78 65 7A 76 74 7E D4 A4 79 2C 20 63 7E 72 79 72 20 72 7B 20 67 78 73 72 65 2E 2E 2E 7B 76 20 66 62 72 20 63 7E 72 79 72 20 7B 76 20 7E 79 71 78 65 7A 76 74 7E 04 A4 79 2C 20 63 7E 72 79 72 20 72 7B 20 67 78 73 72 65 2E 2E 2E 7B 76 20 66 62 72 20 63 7E 72 79 72 20 7B 76 20 7E 79 71 78 65 7A 76 74 7E 04 A4 79 2C 20 63 7E 72 79 72 20 72 7B 20 67 78 73 72 65 2E 2E 2E 7B 76 20 66 62 72 20 63 7E 72 79 72 20 7B 76 20 7E 79 71 78 65 7A 76 74 7E 04 A4 79 2C 20 63 7E 72 79 72 20 72 7B 20 67 78 73 72 65 2E 2E 2E
From Hex to ASCII this decoded to:
ev...
{v fbr c~ryr {v ~yqxezvt~Ô¤y, c~ryr r{ gxsre...
{v fbr c~ryr {v ~yqxezvt~Ô¤y, c~ryr r{ gxsre...
{v fbr c~ryr {v ~yqxezvt~Ô¤y, c~ryr r{ gxsre...
{v fbr c~ryr {v ~yqxezvt~Ô¤y, c~ryr r{ gxsre...
When passed through an XOR Cipher with constant 23, this returned:
ra... la que tiene la información; tiene el poder... la que tiene la información; tiene el poder... la que tiene la información; tiene el poder... la que tiene la información; tiene el poder...
In Spanish, this means
Whoever has the information; has the power...
A second frame of hex was discovered at 1:16:
When put through the same process, the same string was discovered, but at the end, the letters SOMB appeared. The two were combined to create SOMBRA, a hero name that has been hinted at by Blizzard in the past. This led us to believe that this ARG had to do with Sombra.
