Overwatch’s annual Summer Games event
returns this week and Blizzard has begun to reveal some of the new skins players can expect when the games arrive on August 9. While we'll likely have to wait until the actual start of the event for a full look at all of the new cosmetics, Blizzard has revealed new skins for D.Va, Reinhardt, Winston, and Ana.
In addition to the new cosmetics, it's likely that we'll see the return of Lucioball. In Blizzard's initial save the date, they included a photo of the fan-favorite event, which features two teams of three players, all playing the character Lucio, engage in a soccer-inspired game. We'll also likely see the return of Summer Games cosmetics from the past two years, hopefully, available at a discounted price.
Overwatch's Summer Games will begin August 9 and run through August 30. As a reminder, Blizzard has partnered with Twitch to provide Prime members with free in-game rewards in the form of Wrecking Ball Loot Boxes. Available through September 3, these promotional Loot Boxes celebrate Overwatch's newest character, Wrecking Ball, and contain four random items specific to the new hero.
