Overwatch Summer Games Return Thursday Aug. 9

by - 7 years ago

The starting pistols are loaded, the pools are filled and Lúcios around the world are lacing up their skates for The Overwatch Summer Games starting Thursday Aug. 9.

So far, Blizzard has revealed several new skins for heroes to have some fun in the sun with. We’ll look at them in the order they’ve been revealed, starting with:

WAVERACER D.VA

D.Va is ready to crush some waves this summer.

Our first Legendary Summer Games Skin new for 2018 is for everyone’s favorite Starcraft Pro and K-Pop sensation: D.Va.

Her MEKA has been given the Sea-Doo treatment from head to toe, with a nice teal and pink color scheme (take note, Florida Mayhem) and that flower design you always see on or near the beach.  Baby D.Va gets in on the action as well, with a lifejacket, sunglasses and beachwear. D.Va is definitely ready for the Summer Games. Are you?

GRIDIRONHARDT REINHARDT

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

Reinhardt sure is in his new legendary skin!

With a facemask and plenty of padding, Reinhardt looks ready to hit the truck stick and linebacker some poor, smaller, less awesome hero into a wall. A championship ring is the centerpiece of his shield arm and it looks like his hammer is now a first-down marker. Personally, this is my favorite skin revealed so far, football pads are perfect on Rein, and I cant wait to break through the lines of scrimmage with this one.

CATCHER WINSTON

The enemy team will be the ones catching L’s when you pull out this Legendary Winston skin. His jetpack has become a baseball launcher and his Tesla Cannon doubles as a gear bag. He’s also sporting a nice pair of what I assume are Oakleys, which no real ballplayer can be found without.

CABANA ANA

It’s beach Ana! She has… a hat! And sunglasses!

This skin is pretty neat. Ana is all ready for a day in the beach or in the sun. But the best part about this skin?

The memes.

Kick back, slide those shoes off and enjoy the surf with Overwatch’s Grandma during the Summer Games.

LACROSSE ROADHOG

Roadhog plays lacrosse? Who knew?

I always took him for more of a bowling guy myself, but to each their own.

This skin is awesome, Hog is ready to take the pitch and body check an unsuspecting support hero. Plus, that mask is terrifying. Like, stuff-of-nightmares scary. If Roadhog doesn’t scare you now, wait until you get hooked and come face to face with this beast.

These are all the skins that have been revealed at the time of writing. Knowing Blizzard, we could see one or two more before the event officially begins on Aug. 9. As always, everyone’s favorite minigame: Lúcioball will be coming back, as well as plenty of skins, sprays, emotes and voice lines to enhance your Overwatch Summer Games experience.

Hard to believe that this will be the THIRD Summer Games for Overwatch. How time flies.

See you in Lúcioball!
