Overwatch is getting a load of new skins and celebrating the “Lunar New Year” in 2019 as well. There will be some new skins.
Recurring events are a fixed part of Overwatch and in 2019, the “usual program” will be followed. That’s why the event “Lunar New Year” oriented around the Chinese New Year will start in just a few days, attracting players with fresh rewards. Overwatch has now announced via Twitter that the Chinese New Year event “Lunar New Year” will return on January 24.
The Year of the Pig: This year is all about the pig. Since the “Year of the Pig” seems perfect for a new skin for Roadhog, fans are eagerly awaiting news from the hefty character with the hook.
In the coming days, Blizzard plans to present a new skin daily before the event starts. This should ensure that we will get at least 6-7 new skins and likely also some new emotes, spray logos, and other cosmetics during the event.
Whether there will be a new game mode again or if they will simply repeat the game modes from previous years, such as “Capture the Flag,” is still unknown.
You have this long: As usual, the event lasts about 3 weeks. From January 24 to February 18, you have time to earn the special loot boxes and stock up on the new skins and other rewards. Only these event loot boxes have a chance to contain the items related to the event.
Currently, an event is already taking place in Overwatch, the “Bastet Challenge” – you only have a few days left to secure this skin!
Are you already excited for the “Lunar Festival” event in Overwatch?
