Overwatch 2 Lunar New Year 2023 Recycled Skins Ruins Event for Fans

The Overwatch 2 Lunar New Year 2023 event has begun today and fans feel like the event has already been ruined because it has recycled skins from before. Players were already complaining when it was revealed the event Twitch Drops would only give players a Lunar New Year skin from 2020, but now the event reward has been revealed as a skin from 2021.

What are the Overwatch 2 Lunar New Year 2023 event rewards?

Players will be able to get a new 2023 Year of the Rabbit Player Icon just for logging in during the Lunar New Year 2023 event. There are also event challenges to be completed, and players get the Kkachi Echo Legendary skin from Lunar New Year 2021 as a reward for completing four of those.

Those interested in the Twitch Drops will get The Lion Roars Victory Pose for Moira for watching participating streams for two hours, with the Masked Dancer Moira Legendary skin from 2020 being the reward for watching for a grand total of six hours.

Fans have been left feeling like the event has been ruined. Reddit has complaints that there is “literally nothing new except for one 10$ recolor skin” and players are genuinely concerned about the quality of the game’s events moving forward. It seems like Blizzard learned little from the controversy surrounding the Battle for Olympus event after it was called the worst event in the franchise’s history.
