Overwatch Welcomes The Year Of The Dog With Their Second Annual Lunar New Year Event

The Chinese Lunar New Year is just around the corner and Overwatch will be joining the festivities for the second year since the game launched in May 2016. The Lunar New Year event is set to being on February 8^th.

Unfortunately, Blizzard Entertainment has been a bit skimpy about the details but if it’s anything like last year’s event then it’s probably safe to assume that we’ll be seeing Year of the Dog themed icons, skins, sprays, and possibly a limited game mode similar to last year’s Capture the Rooster.

We’ll let you know as we learn more.

🎊 Wishing you prosperity in the Year of the Dog! 🎊
