Overwatch gets Olympic skins & other cosmetics in special summer Loot Boxes

Special ‘Summer Games Loot Boxes’ are now available to purchase for Overwatch, introducing new Olympics-themed skins, poses and other cosmetics for a limited time.

Each Loot Box contains a selection of four items, including one guaranteed Summer Games skin, plus sprays, highlight intros, emotes, victory poses, player icons or voice lines.

While there aren’t screenshots of the new skins yet, some pictures of the designs for Tracer, Lucio and Zarya have surfaced on NeoGAF.

Some have speculated that there may also be a new map and game mode coming, too.

Over 90 new Summer Games items are available to collect, although they can only be unlocked through the new loot boxes, either earned in-game or via microtransactions. Here’s the pricing:

• 2x Summer Games Loot Box – £1.69
• 5x Summer Games Loot Box – £3.99
• 11x Summer Games Loot Box – £7.99
• 24x Summer Games Loot Box – £15.99

The loot boxes will be available to purchase from digital storefronts until August 22.
