Blizzard Entertainment has launched the latest event into Overwatch as players can now jump into the 2022 Lunar New Year. This one has the usual array of new skins, sprays, emotes, voice lines, and more, but it does feel like there aren't as many as there used to be. Most likely because the team is still ramping up for the release of Overwatch 2 and hasn't been making a ton of new content for the current game. But hey, at least they're still doing stuff for the usual events they touch on. You can check out more about it below as this will run from January 25th until February 15th.

To commemorate the occasion, we're bringing rich new rewards for you to unlock: set a lantern alight with Genji, illuminate the night with Orisa's sparklers, don some New Year-ready attire as Seolbim Mercy, flit around the battlefield in Nezha Tracer's fire-heeled shoes, and more!
