Lunar New Year has returned to Overwatch! From now until March 5, we're celebrating the festivities with updates to our Capture the Flag mode—including a competitive Capture the Flag Mode and Sudden Death—on a brand-new map, Ayutthaya. Players can unlock their favorite Lunar New Year-themed items from last year along with 50 new ones including legendary skins like Red Phoenix (Zhu Que) Mercy, Black Tortoise (Xuan Wu) Zarya, White Tiger (Bai Hu) Genji, Black Lily Widowmaker, and more.

In other Overwatch news, alongside the limited time only event comes a new feature where players can swap out that newly earned skin right before a match! This makes it even easier to match up with your team, or just show off that rad style.

This is one of the many changes with today's Year of the Dog update that brings with it a new map, Ayutthaya, new skins, a new game mode, and tons more!

For those interested, the Year of the Dog event celebrating the Chinese New Year is going on now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC players and allows players to earn legendary loot while enjoying the new aspects of the game. After the event wraps up, the new map is here to stay - which is an even bigger reason to keep playing the hit FPS!
