Overwatch teases 'Year of the Rooster' in-game event
Overwatch's next batch of skins and doodads appears themed after the Chinese New Year.
Blizzard has teased the next update for Overwatch, titled "Year of the Rooster." The teaser image in an official tweet says it will begin next Tuesday, January 24.

The event appears to be themed after the Chinese New Year, which begins on January 28. The image shows off a likely new skin for Mei, who is Chinese in the game's continuity. A separate tweet from the Korean Overwatch Twitter account similarly shows a skin for D. Va.
Past events like Halloween Terror and Winter Wonderland have included new skins, sprays, voice lines, and poses, usually accompanied by a special themed game mode in Brawl. We had previously seen data-mining that found voice lines that seemed to correspond with Valentine's Day. We're not sure yet if Blizzard is planning two events so close together, or if those lines actually correspond to this "Year of the Rooster" event.

Dear Blizzard,
I just want to give you $5 for the Witch Mercy skin that I missed in your Halloween event. Why you no like money?-
Because they dont need your $5. You are going to continue playing, and buying loot boxes anyway. They know that, and are counting on it :) Blizzard does it their way.

Last time I spent five bucks on loot boxes I only got a single skin, which turned Torb yellow. But I got so many amazing sprays and player icons. Yay.
Don't think I'll make that mistake again.-

Yeah you can purchase them while the event is active. They are often super expensive though so save up!
