Overwatch<\/strong> <\/em>events are always a time of excitement for the game\u2019s community, as players flock to the hero shooter to see the new cosmetic items and brawls that will be available. As expected, the next Overwatch<\/em><\/a> event will be the Lunar New Year Event, and it starts very soon.<\/p>\n

While Blizzard previously hinted at another Lunar New Year event via some Hanzo artwork<\/a> celebrating the arrival of New Year\u2019s Day, little has been said since the archer was shown standing alongside an Ox. With the Lunar New Year event usually starting in mid to late January, fans began to worry that Blizzard would be skipping out on the new year festivities for 2021. Fortunately, that is not the case, as a post on the official Overwatch<\/em> Twitter account reveals that the event is incoming.<\/p>\n

The post reveals that the Year of the Ox event will begin on February 4, with players able to experience whatever new content the event will bring this Thursday. The event will run for the standard three weeks, coming to an end on February 25. While the short teaser video offers no information as to what skins will be available, it does showcase a special highlight intro for the mech pilot D.Va<\/a>. In the intro, D.Va ejects, grabbing the camera and snapping her fingers as the mech explodes into fireworks.<\/p>\n
