Overwatch Skins: All The New Legendary Skins And Cosmetics From Year Of The Dog Update ~ USA Latest Games

Blizzard has kicked off the latest Overwatch event, Year of the Dog, on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It marks the return of a revamped Capture the Flag mode and other new features. But as is to be expected from any new update, there are a variety of new skins and cosmetics to now get your hands on.

In terms of skins, there are six Legendary skins in total, including those for Hanzo, Genji, and Mercy. Additionally, there are more than 50 new items in all to get your hands on; aside from the skins, there are new sprays and other cosmetics (as well as returning ones from last year's event). You can check out all of the new skins, as well as many of the new cosmetics, in the gallery above. We've also got galleries of all the recently added Blizzard World update skins, as well as the huge number of Overwatch League skins introduced earlier this year.

With new skins now available, this update marks the addition of a welcome feature for those with a growing collection to show off. From the Assemble Your Team screen before a match, you can now easily change your skin. This is only accessible during the pre-match phase, no doubt to avoid having players spending time contemplating their choice when they could be helping the team, but it should still make it easier to rotate through your collection.

Also new in this patch is the aforementioned CTF revamp. This sees the introduction of a new Sudden Death mode--meaning no more ties--where flags are located closer to one another. Also, throughout the match, flags are now picked up instantly, though it will be dropped when using certain abilities, like Winston's leap. Blizzard says this should all result in a more "action-packed" experience overall.
