The Story of Overwatch Silhouettes

In this documentary by Gamespot, there is a poster on the wall of Blizzard HQ with a lineup of 17 character silhouettes along the bottom.

From left to right: Omniblade/Sombra, Bastion, Reinhardt, Torbjörn, Tracer, Widowmaker, Zenyatta, McCree, Winston, Pharah, Mercy, Symmetra, Roadhog, D.Va and her Mech, Reaper, Junkrat

Omniblade/Sombra concept art.
During the BlizzCon 2016 What's New panel for Overwatch, the developers discussed Sombra's origins. These concepts of her original design best match the first silhouette above.

Notes

  • The second unidentified silhouette from the Overwatch Origins panel is similar to the hazmat-suited character seen in other 2014 concept art. It is also similar to concept art of early Junkrat designs seen in the Overwatch Museum.
