The recent developer update from Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan went into detail regarding the upcoming Lunar Event, specifically the Capture the Flag mode.
The update brings a number of new cosmetics, plus a map that has been designed especially to cater for Capture the Flag. This new map takes place in Thailand, and brings new changes. This includes new draws, which appear during sudden death flags, and will appear in the center of the map. Though picking up the flag is instant, abilities that increase your speed will cause you to drop the flag, so keep this in mind.
There will be a four-week competitive season, and will reward those who rank in the top 500 with a special spray. There is also six legendary skins coming, two of which have been confirmed for Mercy and Genji. More details will be revealed as the event approaches, which is sure to be pleasing for fans of the game, even if it is only for a short time. So if you’ve gone away from the popular Blizzard shooter for a while, then now might be a good time to make a return to it.
Overwatch is now available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
