Alongside news of the new Hero, Kaplan confirmed details of two upcoming in-game events. First, Year of the Dog will take place over Lunar New Year, adding “significant” content that “players will be very happy with.” This will be followed in April by a revamped version of Uprising, tied into Overwatch‘s anniversary.
