Overwatch Lunar New Year 2020 event now live

The Overwatch Lunar New Year 2020 event is now live, bringing with it the chance to nab new skins, icons, sprays and participate in a series of themed modes.

Capture the Flag makes its return alongside CTF Blitz a modified version of the mode where flags are much closer than before, usually placed where overtime flags would be in regular CTF. Six captures are needed in Blitz as compared to three in regular CTF.

Weekly challenges also make their return, allowing players the chance to earn the following items:

  • Week One: Monk Doomfist (Epic)
  • Week Two: Ancient Bronze Winston (Epic)
  • Week Three: Paper Cutting Wrecking Ball (Epic)

In addition to new, purchasable skins, icons, emotes and sprays, the following four new Legendary Skins will be on offer:

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

You can check some of those skins out below alongside some of the weekly challenge Epic skins.

Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch.
