For its second year, Overwatch has settled into a groove with its regular seasonal events, bringing regular deviations from the norm with alternative game modes and tons and tons of new skins for the obsessives to… obsess over.
If you’ve been paying attention, then you’ll know that this means that Blizzard will be celebrating the Lunar New Year, and they’ve just announced that this event will kick off next week on 8th February as they herald the Year of the Dog.

Naturally there will be plenty of seasonal cosmetics for you to seek to unlock with commemorative Lunar Loot Boxes returning, while Blizzard say that the event’s Capture the Flag mode will be featured on a new map.
