Overwatch has a new event that is just around the corner, which means there are a handful of new goodies that will be available for players. These special items will include player icons, sprays, emotes, and glorious skins for our favorite heroes. That said, Blizzard Entertainment has been kind enough to begin rolling out previews of the skins that will be added to the popular game during the Storm Rising event, which is set to begin in just a couple of days. It’s unknown if there will be more skins arriving, but for the time being, we’ve got a glimpse at part of the team in their new threads.

With a couple days remaining before the Storm Rising event begins, there’s a good chance that the Overwatch team has a few more tricks up their sleeves. However, according to Blizzard’s website, it looks like there are three more skins to be revealed that will be available during the next Archives Event.
Overwatch is currently available to play on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The upcoming Archives Event Storm Rising will begin on April 16th and last until May 6th. After the event has concluded, the skins will likely be gone forever, or until Blizzard decides to bring them back.
