Blizzard’s latest Overwatch 2 event has arrived, just in time to celebrate the Lunar New Year. The event has been detailed in Blizzard’s blog post and introduces new skins, festive changes to the map, and brings back Arcade Brawl.
Additionally, some rewards will be given out to players who play the game via Twitch Drops. From now until February 6th, you can have as much fun as you can.
Players heading to the Lijiang Tower can watch fireworks light up the sky and, if they so choose, engage in some arcade brawling.
These arcade brawls are Capture the Flag, Capture the Flag Blitz, and Bounty Hunter. Capture the Flag is what you might have expected, a frantic effort to snatch your opponent’s flag while protecting your own. Capture the Flag Blitz is a fast-paced version of Capture the Flag with the bottom of the flag in the center of the map.
Last but not least is the free arcade brawler known as Bounty Hunter. The way it works is that the first hero to kill an enemy gets a bounty; under the bounty program, they get more points for kills. You’ll want to collect bounties, kills, and try to come out on top.
However, you need to be careful as players with bounties can also be seen through floors and walls…
Speaking of rewards given out during the event, you can get the first reward by logging in: 2023 Rabbit Player Icon. There are also new event challenges that reward you with additional cosmetics and Battle Pass XP, one of which is the Kkachi Echo Legendary skin.
For those of you who like to follow Twitch Drops, you’re in luck too. If you watch two hours of participating streams on Twitch, you can earn yourself Moira’s Lion’s Roar victory pose, and four hours later, you can unlock the Masked Dancer Legendary skin for Moira.
