Overwatch Lunar New Year Event Returns In February 8
Blizzard is ensuring the Overwatch seasonal events come around annually with the second annual Lunar New Year event, beginning February 8.
As this is the year of the dog, a new dog-based logo has appeared. That and the date are currently the only things known about the annual event, but every other returning Overwatch event has added new costumes and modes. Additionally, they have brought back the costumes from the previous year, so people who missed out can get another shot at buying them.
Blizzard also added 100 new cosmetic items – skins, emotes, highlight reels, and skins – last week to the normal lootboxes.

Our Take
It's hard to get excited until they show off new costumes, but last year's were pretty good, so hopefully they can spread the variety around with the same level of quality.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
