“Summer Games” Are Returned To Overwatch In Improved Form

Marathon of special events in Overwatch Started with the Summer Games of 2016, which in an amazing coincidence were held simultaneously with the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. But the summer Olympics this year is not, but the “summer games” are returned, and in a significantly improved form.

Supervisor Overwatch Jeff Kaplan (Jeff Kaplan) on this reason wrote a new speech for fans. The developer said that in the Summer Games 2017, fresh cosmetic items will appear. He did not reveal all the intrigue, but promised the excellent legendary appearance for the rat, almost the best (according to Kaplan) skin for angel, as well as pleasant gifts for McCry and the fatal widow.

And besides new things you can get both old, which appeared on the “Summer Games 2016”. They will also fall out of festive containers, but, unlike last year, they can be purchased for gaming currency. And the rates will be smelling: the collection of “Summer Games 2016” is equal in cost to standard things. That is, for example, the legendary appearance of the runway for the tracer will be given to buy for 1,000 gold. But the new cosmetics will remain expensive: 3,000 gold for the “legendary”.

But do not be discouraged! Jeff Kaplan Reminds that now in Overwatch There is a new LUT system, thanks to which duplicates fall far less frequently. Blizzard It hopes that this change will show itself during the event.
The “Summer Games 2017” will be returned and “Lusiobol” – a special football whirlpool for two teams from Trey Lusio. However, it is pretty finalized. First, a new stadium will appear in Australia, which will be alternate with the old of Rio. Secondly, the gameplay will change. Lucio will no longer be able to repel rivals, and supercobability does not attract the ball. Instead, “Utalt” allows you to run faster, above jump and add more often.

Finally, the most curious thing: for “Lusiobol” will launch their competitive regime – “Lucio Cup” with a rating system. If you play in this section a dozen matches, you will give a unique graffiti, and if you will manage to enter the top 500 players in Lusiobol in your region, you will get another special spray.

Caplan It expects that the competitive “Lusiobol” will enjoy players. In this case, the authors will introduce rating modes in other festive events Overwatch.

“Summer Games 2017” will be held from 8 to 29 August on all three platforms.
