Overwatch’s next seasonal event is now live. Much like last year, Summer Games features new cosmetic items that are only available for a limited time, as well as the return of the special Brawl mode LucioBall.
Check Out the Overwatch Summer Games 2017 Trailer:
The cosmetics will be the highlight of the event for many, and they include new skins for Sombra, Widowmaker, Reaper, and Junkrat, among others. These are less Olympics-centric than those offered last year; Soldier 76 gets one that puts him in cargo shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, and sandals (with socks!) and replaces his assault rifle with one that features the words “A Salt Rifle.”

Summer Games 2017 also introduces a new map for LucioBall, the soccer/Rocket League-esque mode that has teams of Lucios try to knock a ball through the opposing team’s goal. You also have another chance to get your hands on last year’s skins, which are available at a discounted price, as laid out below.
