What does Overwatch do on Valentine’s Day? Is there an event for the day of love? A Valentine’s event in Overwatch?
Today is the big day of love, where florists make the most sales – at least for most non-gamers in this world. Valentine’s Day is also an occasion for special in-game events in many games.
Especially in Overwatch, skins for “Valentine’s Day” would also fit well, as there are several romantic relationships within the universe. For Christmas, Blizzard recently published a comic that revealed Tracer’s homosexual relationship and spread new rumors about characters like Mercy and Genji.
Voicelines were even found in the game that would perfectly match a Valentine’s event in Overwatch. Genji and Mercy exchange chocolate – a typical gesture for the day of love.
No Valentine’s Day event in Overwatch … at least not in 2017
Jeff Kaplan has already stated in the past that, at least for 2017, there is no Valentine’s Day event planned. Easter is also currently not on the agenda, as there are “other events” planned for the future.
The developers of Overwatch don’t just want to cover the “typical” events that are recognized in all other games, but also deviate a bit from the well-known paths.
However, the developers have not yet mentioned concrete plans for which events they have in mind for Overwatch in the future. At the latest in summer, the “Summer Games” could already celebrate a return.
Currently, the “Year of the Roster,” the Year of the Rooster, is still taking place in Overwatch. Those who want to grab the special skins and emotes there must hurry, as the event will end today, on February 14.
