Sprays are:
Match’s On! with Hanzo, Zarya, Sombra, and McCree
Watchparty: Gibraltar with Moira [is actually Emily, lol], Tracer, Winston, and Mei
#1 Fan with D.Va
Living Room with Brigitte, Reinhardt, Torbjörn, and Bastion
And since this is relatively obscure:
Yes, Mei has actually reunited with Winston after the events of Rise and Shine.

The first spray is pretty interesting to me. It’s most likely Calvera’s bar, which we’ve seen Sombra and McCree in before, and we know Zarya travelled through Dorado recently and clearly has stayed in contact with Sombra. The real questions are: what brought McCree to Dorado back in Reflections? Why is he still there/there again? Why is Hanzo in Dorado? We know he’s been travelling but it sure is interesting that so many of them would just happen to be in the same place. Popular place, as we know Junkrat, Roadhog and Soldier:76 have passed through there too, at the very least.
And D.va’s spray being of her on her own really emphasizes the sad reality that she currently has no connections to any other playable overwatch hero, or even any of the significant NPCs.
It definitely raises questions: at least two of the sprays (Watchparty and Living Room) have canon elements – all the characters are in contact with each other.
Like you said, Sombra and McCree have both been to Calaveras. Sombra and Zarya are in contact with each other. Sombra might also be in contact with McCree.
This leaves Hanzo as the ??? unknown element. How does he know them? Are these sprays canon? Do they imply anything??
If they are canon, the implication that they could be working together is intriguing to me. We know Sombra’s in contact with Zarya. We can easily see how she’d find and contact McCree, he is a well known criminal, and we’ve seen that she has files on him. And if she’s in contact with McCree, learning about Hanzo from him or any access she might have to overwatch files (they presumably have files on him, being the head of a criminal empire they took down)is not too much of a stretch. It’s easy to see. The question is why? What would she need them for, WHY would they agree?
Of course, they could just all happen to frequent the bar, it’s supposed to be pretty popular for those of ill repute, if I remember correctly. But that’s less fun to think about
Actually, we know talon knows of the Shimada clan, Retribution confirmed that. Talon knowing of Hanzo is already a given, esp with his in game interactions. Sombra knows of Hanzo, but meeting him in person with all these other individuals, after he’s expressed to us, the viewer, that he has no intention of working with Talon. And with McCree there, who’s always worked against Talon. Very interesting
Sombra has already said she’s using Talon for her own ends, but there’s additional evidence that she is basically the information broker for Reaper, Soldier: 76, Ana, McCree, and possibly Zarya. It is not impossible for her to have contact with Hanzo and have brought him into her own plans.
