Overwatch, And so begins the ‘Year of the Pig’.

The new Lunar New Year has begun, and from now until February 18, you can ring in the Year of the Pig in Overwatch style. Collect hundreds of themed seasonal cosmetic items, enjoy a festive Capture-the-Flag version of Busan, or welcome the return of our previous Lunar New Year-themed maps: Ayutthaya and Lijang Tower.

Of course, the real highlight of this seasonal event is the skins! Unlock new legendary skins like Lü Bu Reaper, Guan Yu Reinhardt, Zhuge Liang Zenyatta, Hong Gildong Tracer, Zhang Fei Torbjörn, and Huang Zhong Hanzo. Don’t forget to also collect epic skins Sanye Orisa and General Brigitte. 

Wishing you great fortune on your future skins!

In addition to the Lunar New Year festivities, we’ve permanently reduced the price of Overwatch: Standard Edition and Overwatch: Legendary Edition for PC. Participating retailers have also permanently reduced the price of Overwatch: Legendary Edition on all platforms—see their respective websites for details.
