The next seasonal event heading to Overwatch is the Year of the Rooster, a Chinese New Year-themed event that looks to be delivering some incredibly gorgeous new skins for Mei and D.Va.
So, who else might be getting new skins? The Overwatch fandom has some suggestions, as you might expect. Players have already been hard at work brainstorming their best ideas — not only for skins, but for the seasonal brawl as well.
The Overwatch seasonal events thus far have included a special limited-time game mode in keeping with the themes of the event. For the Year of the Rooster event, Overwatch subreddit user Fenrion thinks the brawl should tie in with the myth surrounding the celebration.
The tale of Chinese New Year is that every year a monster named Nian comes out of hiding. to terrorize villages and eat children. The only way to defeat Nian is to set off fireworks, play loud drums and perform lion dances to scare off Nian and celebrate Chinese New Year happily and safely! Well, in game, the brawl could be heroes needing to set off fireworks and play loud drums to damage the boss or just shoot it down.
Sounds pretty cool to me!
The brawls are surely a cool part of the Overwatch events, but the thing that everyone really wants are the awesome Legendary skins. Fans have a lot of ideas for those, too.
The most frequently sketched character seems to be Mei — fitting, since she seems to be one of the title characters for this event.
