Overwatch Summer Games Event Launches

Dad: 76 reaches all-timer status.

By Joe Skrebels

Overwatch's Summer Games event has launched, running for three weeks, until August 29.

The event comprises the return of a new-and-improved Lucioball mode and a second stadium to play it in, as well as a set of new (and occasionally incredible) skins, and other unlockable cosmetics. Check some of them out in the screenshots below:

Summer Games is Overwatch's first repeated event - Blizzard has also brought back last year's Summer Games skins, which will be available to buy with in-game currency at a discounted price.

You can see all of last year's skins in the video below:

It's been less than two weeks since new character Doomfist launched, and with Blizzard heading to Gamescom at the end of the month, we may yet have more announcements to come.
