Now Playing: Overwatch - Seasonal Lunar New Year Event 2018 Trailer

Overwatch's Lunar New Year event, Year of the Dog, is currently underway until March 5. This year's event includes new skins, emotes, and more for the game's loot boxes, as well as changes to the Capture the Flag mode, a new competitive mode, and a new map called Ayutthaya.

To see all the changes for this year's event, check out the patch notes. In other Overwatch news, the title may be restricted in Hawaii as representatives are taking action against video games with "predatory" loot box practices and microtransactions. If team shooters aren't your cup of tea, make sure to check out these other free games available this weekend.
