One of the most exciting things about this game is how Blizzard incorporates the events and transforms them into collectibles that we find in game. Celebrate the Year of the Rooster with a new brawl and 100+ new cosmetic items as Overwatch greets the Chinese New Year this January 24 – February 13, 2017!

Kung Hei Fat Choi fellow gamers! I’ve been celebrating the Chinese New Year by playing Overwatch these past 3 days. And honestly, this event has got to be my favorite celebration in the game so far. Blizzard never cuts corners when it comes to cultural/seasonal festivals and I got to say everything is so pleasing to the eyes – ok fine, it might be my addiction to the color red, but it does look good!

This season’s brawl is a capture the flag mode at Lijiang Tower and is my favorite by far. Hopefully, the developers put this as a permanent mode in arcade.

Last but not least, let’s talk about the skins. Did we already talk about those? No? Ok. The skins mostly follow the Lunar New Year theme, but what I really want to talk about are those legendary skins for Reindhart, Zenyatta, Winston, and Roadhog! These skins are based of the “Journey to the West” legend and as a Zenyatta player I think is the better looking skin for him – I mean it looks so regal!

So, once again Kung Hei Fat Choi! I for one am preparing for a marathon session to unlock all those new skins. Remember, the Year of the Rooster event for Overwatch runs from January 24 – February 13, 2017. I wish you good luck with your loot boxes – oh and HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
