Sombra’s new Overwatch emote has her dangling Reaper by some strings as if he were her puppet. We all know Sombra’s in charge, after all. The second teased emote is for Genji, where he shows off a sweet sword-swinging backflip. Lastly, Mercy looks angelic as she twirls her staff. Moira and Tracer both have new emotes as well; Tracer’s has her juggling her guns, while Moira gives an expressive face-palm.

These new emotes are part of Overwatch’s Blizzard World content drop, which lands next week. Alongside the new map, Overwatch players can expect more than 100 new cosmetic items to be added to Overwatch’s base loot boxes, many of which the developer is teasing ahead of the launch.
