Lunar New Year to Begin February 8th

Blizzard has announced that the next Overwatch event will begin on February 8th. Lunar New Year will likely celebrate the Year of the Dog with themed skins, icons, sprays and a unique game play mode. For instance, during the Year of the Rooster, players had to literally Capture the Rooster. Mei and the Lijiang Tower map are likely to take centerstage as well.

At this point, however, we don't know for a fact that this will be the theme, but it would follow an already-established pattern.

We'll keep you posted.
