New Overwatch Seasonal Event is Now Live – Year of the Rooster

Presenting Overwatch’s First In-game Event Celebrating Holidays from Abroad

Yesterday we got a leaked preview of the latest Overwatch in-game event. And now we have confirmation of content. The multiplayer shooter is incorporating a Capture-the-flag mode. But just as exciting, there’s a whole cadre of new loot available. So get ready for a grind, or just take out your wallet right now. All skins pay homage to the Lunar New Year Event, presented in the trailer below:

As predicted, Mei and D.Va get new elegant skins celebrating their ethnic holidays. But it also runs further down the roster, with Junkrat, Mercy, Tracer, Symmetra, and Bastion getting colorful reds, golds and darks. All the while, Reinhardt, Roadhog, Winston, and Zenyata reflect known characters from the Chinese Epic, Journey to the West. As for what else the lootboxes have in store, you’ll have to play and find out.
