What’s Blizzard trying to tell us?

Blizzard Entertainment touched on the origins of Ana, the first post-launch character coming to Overwatch, in an illustrated trailer earlier today. Not only does the video give us some clues about the story behind Pharah’s formerly missing-in-action mother, it also included a secret message.

At about 1:16 into the new video, a still frame showing a sequence of hex values appears. If you weren’t watching the video frame-by-frame, like some of us were this morning, it’s pretty easy to miss. Here’s an enhanced version of the image:

The message appears twice in the video, and repeats the following sequence: 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.

Fortunately for the inexperienced code crackers out there, the Overwatch subreddit took a stab at it. Their solution? "La que tiene la información; tiene el poder" or, "Whoever has the power; has the information."

It’s not entirely clear what Blizzard is trying to tell us, if that’s accurate. Is that supposed to be a hint about the relationship between Sombra and Ana? Is Sombra simply an alias for Ana? Is it a hint about an upcoming gameplay mode coming to Overwatch? We’re checking in with Blizzard to see if they’ll give us some more hints.

You can watch Ana’s origin trailer below to see if you can uncover any other clues.
