Hey sevensins I compiled a video that talks about the new Overwatch Summer Games Update and include all of the skins emotes and other goodies that came along with this new update.

Video:

Original Story August 2, 2016: A new set of Overwatch skins are coming today, all based around the Olympic Games. They’ll arrive in special, Olympics-branded loot boxes that will be on sale for a limited time, probably arriving with tonight’s patch. The information comes from a box sent to streamer LacedUpLauren, which contained images of the skins that she then posted online. There is also a Playstation Store listing for the new loot boxes.

You can see close up images of the next skins, which include a Track & Field skin for Tracer, a football skin for Lucio and a Weightlifting skin for (obviously) Zarya, over onLauren’s twitter. She also livestreamed opening the box she was sent on Twitch.

As for how you or I will attain them in-game, this Playstation Store listing for new Olympic boxes is as much as we have to go on. It says that the new Summer Games Loot Boxes will be “available to purchase or earn in-game until 8/22/16 at 11:59pm PT.”

The new skins won’t be attainable through credits, meaning your stockpile’s useless if you want them, but the new boxes are guaranteed to have “at least one” of the new set of skins, sprays, highlight intros, emotes, victory poses, player icons and voice lines - also confirming all of those will be available too. Once the timer is up (and the Games are over) the boxes won’t be on sale or earnable any more.

It’s not confirmed exactly how they will be earned, and Blizzard will likely clarify in patch notes later tonight, however it’s probable that either the new boxes will replace all level-up drops or a random amount of level-up drops from now until the end date.

Look out for more information on the new cosmetics tonight. There's also some debate if there is also a new map and game mode coming, possibly revolving around goal-scoring on what looks like a new map, as seen in our header image.
