Overwatch’s Lunar New Year and Some New Skins Arriving Thursday

New event time! Who is excited?! I am!!!

I have high hopes for an awesome Tracer skin, or maybe Zenyetta…what skins are you guys hoping for? Or have all your dreams came true with that amazing Reaper skin?

The Lunar New Year is right around the corner and it is the year of the dog. The event will start Thurday January 24th and end Feburary 18th. Everyday until the event starts Blizzard will be announcing new skins. So far we have got a new Reaper(just in time for his buff) skin. Which looks amazing! Along with a Hanzo skin. There will be plenty more cosmetic items being added along with the skins, as usual.

Squeal with joy!

This event originally announced the capture fhe flag events, so we might see a new maps or maybe some ranked CTF. Nothing has been announced at this time, though Blizzard does tease us in their Twitter post, giving us a hint this is more the likely.
