Overwatch is a newer game released by Blizzard in May of this year. I was pretty eager to get my hands on it but haven’t because it costs money that I don’t really have. It gives off a Big Hero 6 vibe with its cartoon-y characters that look like they belong in a kids movie.
On August 2nd, Ovewatch released their seasonal event called the Summer Games. In this event they’ve added over 100 items related to the Summer Olympics! From new skins to poses they have really added some cool content. In addition to the new items they also added a new game mode to Brawl called Lúcio Ball that gives off Rocket League vibes for sure.
I actually got Overwatch because of this event! I had already wanted to purchase the game but this added event really pushed my want to a need. My favorite character so far has been D.VA who got a new skin representing South Korea! As many of you know I actually love Kpop music and Korean culture so I was quite excited. Many of the characters got new skins related to their origin country. Some didn’t get a new skin but they got a voice line, spray, pose or some other item.
I definitely think this was a neat event to add. You can get all these items at random through the Summer Games Loot Boxes. When you level you get a loot box normally but during this even you get the Summer Games Loot Boxes. I’ve already unboxed several items from this event since I just started it’s made getting the boxes a lot easier. I’ve really enjoyed this game so far and I have my fingers crossed hoping I get D.VA’s new skin! This event is only going on till August 22nd so if you want to get these you better hop on and start grinding those levels!
Here’s their promotional video they posted on their YouTube.
What do you guys think of these new Olympic items on Overwatch? I know I really like it!
Happy Gaming,

I’m loving the new skins for Tracer / Lucio / Zarya. Also Lucioball is super fun, but I keep getting dropped from the games. I feel like I can’t finish a game half of the time because someone else drops out. Great write-up!
