It was announced by Blizzard, the Overwatch Summer Games 2017 that is now live on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Also a new trailer has been released for the event, along with the official skins.
Check out the summer event trailer of Overwatch, featuring the new skins and returning modes for the game:
“Our 2017 Summer Games event wouldn’t be complete without a display of athletic expertise, so we’re bringing back Lúcioball—and it’s better than ever,” a Blizzard statement teases.
“This futuristic spin on soccer places you in a fast-paced 3v3 match in Rio de Janiero’s beautiful Estádio das Rãs or on a brand-new pitch located in the Sydney Harbour Arena.
“Players can choose between two modes: Lúcioball and the all-new Copa Lúcioball, which offers a more competitive experience with placement matches, skill ratings tiers, leaderboards, competitive points, and more.”
“The Summer Games Loot Boxes are filled with new skins, voice lines, emotes, victory poses, as well as Legendary skins from last year’s Summer Games.
These can also be purchased with credits for a discounted price, with over 150 cosmetic items available to collect until August 29.
The prices for some of the cosmetic items are:
2017 Summer Games Cosmetic Items
2016 Summer Games Cosmetic Items
Some of those new Summer Games 2017 skins — like beach-going, barbecuing Soldier: 76 up there, with his “A-salt rifle” — are real good.
Other characters getting the Summer Games treatment include snorkeling Sombra, cricket Junkrat and lifeguard McCree.”
