Overwatch’s Lunar New Year begins today, with all-new skins

Published on:

Overwatch‘s yearly Lunar New Year occasion starts today, Jan. 16, with a batch of fresh skins and a semi-new video game mode called Capture the Flag Blitz readily available in the game’s arcade. Lunar New Year will go through Feb. 6 in Overwatch

Gamers will get access to 7 new skins during Overwatch Lunar New Year. 3 of those are of the epic range, and can be earned by playing the game and winning nine games every week. In addition to sprays and other cosmetics, gamers can unlock the following skins merely by winning games:

  • Week 1: Monk Doomfist
  • Week 2: Ancient Chinese Bronze Winston
  • Week 3: Papercutting Damaging Ball

4 famous skins will also be readily available, made through loot boxes or by purchasing them with in-game credits:

  • Opera Brigitte
  • Face-Changer Sombra
  • Mask Dancer Moira
  • Samul Nori Lucio

You can see screenshots of all those skins in the gallery below.

Players can also enjoy Capture The Flag Blitz, which Blizzard calls a modified version of the traditional CTF mode that places the flags much better together than in standard video games. It’s the very same range as in CTF games that enter into overtime, but to make up for that crazy pace, groups will require 6 captures, instead of 3, to win a round of CTF Blitz.

Overwatch Lunar New Year is offered now on Nintendo Change, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One.
