Blizzard Entertainment has kicked off two Lunar New Year events at the same time today in Overwatch and Hearthstone. First, Hearthstone will kick off its proceedings today which will include a new set of Legendary Quests, heroes being added based around the Three Kingdoms saga, and a new Tavern Brawl. Meanwhile, the Overwatch side of things will have a new set of weekly challenges as well as a new brawl mode called Bounty Hunter, as well as the usual cosmetic additions. Both of these will run from today until February 25th. You can read about both of them below.
