OVERWATCH SUMMER GAMES

SURPRISE! Overwatch Summer Games is HERE.

Today, Blizzard announced a seasonal event for Overwatch called Summer Games, an olympic-inspired seasonal event, similar to seasonal events that have been released for games like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm. Their own developers have pointed out many similarities between this Summer Games event and other events like WOW\’s Hallow\’s End event, where it\’s a timed annual event to look forward to.

Summer Games has it\’s own new arena game, called Lucioball. Essentially it\’s Rocket League, except instead of cars, everyone is Lucio, and the goal is to, well, make goals – instead of slaughtering each other. I\’m balls to the walls (hehe) excited about this one guys.

And what would a Blizzard Seasonal event be without some epic loot? Summer Games is boasting over 100 new items, from legendary skins to seriously cool looking sprays. Just logging in will get you your first Summer Games Lootbox, and any level up done during the Summer Games event will get you a SG Lootbox as well. And don\’t worry, each loot box is guaranteed for you to get at least one Summer Game item. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Summer Games launched today and will be running for the next three weeks. Blizzard devs have told us that this is a trial run of seasonal content, and if all goes well, they\’ve noted that they have more ideas and events on the way. Let the games BEGIN!
