Overwatch fans are counting down to the start of the Lunar New Year event.

The next Overwatch event will have a release date of January 25th and a start time of 6pm GMT for players living in the UK.

Overwatch events usually last about three weeks, meaning you have until February 15th to unlock all the new rewards.

This year’s Lunar New Year event is titled Year of the Tiger, celebrating the Chinese New Year on February 1.

As part of the event, fans will be able to play several new game modes and unlock a selection of limited-time rewards.

This includes the legendary Nezha Tracer skin, as well as the legendary Seolbim Mercy outfit. Additional skins will be revealed when the event starts.

You can unlock the new skins and other items by opening Loot Boxes during the event.

Fans can also purchase previous Overwatch Lunar New Year skins at discounted prices. It’s perfect if you missed them the first time.

Needless to say, the Lunar New Year event also adds some limited-time game modes to Overwatch.

Assuming it follows a similar pattern to last year, this includes the Bounty Hunter feature.

“In this new addition to the Arcade Rotation, you’ll collect points as you claim bounties,” the official description reads. The player who gets the first kill of the match becomes a target and everyone else a bounty hunter.

“Earn extra points by killing the target, but be careful, if you land the deadly blow on a target, you’ll become the next one.”

That’s in addition to a number of Capture the Flag modes, including the high stakes Blitz version.

In Capture the Flag, each team tries to secure the enemy flag and return it to their base while preventing the other team from doing the same.

The Blitz version raises the stakes by placing both teams’ flags much closer together. You also need six shots instead of the usual three.

“Launch an all-out offensive against the enemy to grab their flag as many times as possible,” recommends Blizzard.

Finally, fans can expect the new event to launch alongside a massive new update, complete with a long list of patch notes.
