Overwatch’s Summer Games have arrived! Blizzard teased the legendary skins on Twitter this year, but players can also unlock new emotes, sprays, and victory poses. This year, we’re getting a healthy mix of both sports skins and characters who are now outfitted for some fun in the sun. Here’s a look at what legendary skins are available this year. Waveracer D.Va Make a splash with WAVERACER https://t.co/JW0Aei8tV0 (Legendary)! Join us in Busan for Summer Games, kicking off August 9. pic.twitter.com/0IO0BKZMuc — Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) August 4, 2018 D.Va’s skins are always cute, and this one is no exception. Hana’s ready to hit the surf and ride some waves with her new MEKA, and her pilot suit is replaced with threads much more appropriate for the beach. D.Va already has a strong skin line (Cruiser, Black Cat, and Palanquin are all great legendaries), but Waveracer is perfect for the Summer Games. Gridironhardt Break enemy lines with Gridironhardt Reinhardt (Legendary)! Join us in Busan for Summer Games, kicking off August 9. pic.twitter.com/DIHj9XmaBv — Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) August 4, 2018 Reinhardt’s a sporting chap, so it’s no surprise he’s suited up to play this Summer Games. Gridironhardt makes him part of the Gryphons football team, who currently reign as champions. I have a feeling charging into enemy lines is going to be very satisfying in this skin. Catcher Winston Strike opponents out with CATCHER WINSTON (Legendary)! ⚾ Join us in Busan for Summer Games, kicking off August 9. pic.twitter.com/QrlWm6pdzs — Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) August 5, 2018 Prefer baseball? Catcher Winston’s taking to the field with some heavy padding and sweet shades. Winston’s skins tend to be at their best when they’re on the sillier side, and Catcher Winston is a fun take on the giant gorilla. Cabana Ana Stay cool in the shade with CABANA ANA (Legendary)! ️ Join us in Busan for Summer Games, kicking off August 9. pic.twitter.com/algIOwJUGV — Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) August 6, 2018 Ana has a voice line remarking that combat is a much better retirement than a cabana on the beach. Turns out, with her new Summer Games skin, she can actually enjoy both! Ana is wearing shades over her eyepatch, which is an incredible look, and she’s also rocking a big yellow flower in her hair. Ana’s had a tough life, so it’s nice to see her go on vacation. Lacrosse Roadhog Body check enemies with LACROSSE ROADHOG (Legendary)! Join us in Busan for Summer Games, kicking off August 9. pic.twitter.com/PKi1wHFGK0 — Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) August 7, 2018 He’s big, he’s masked, he’s ready to play some good, wholesome lacrosse. Lacrosse Roadhog is one of the neatest Summer Games skins yet; it turns the Junker into an athlete you do not want to meet in the field. It’ll still be terrifying to get hooked by this absolute unit, but at least he’ll be more sporting about it. Fastball Zenyatta Hit a home run headshot with FASTBALL ZENYATTA (Legendary)! ⚾ Join us in Busan for Summer Games, kicking off August 9. pic.twitter.com/T7chyXEK3S — Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) August 9, 2018 This skin is extremely silly and extremely amazing. Zenyatta has some of the best skins in the game, from the spooky Cultist to the beautiful Sanzang. Despite his great range of skins, he has not been able to hurl fastballs at people. Fastball Zenyatta fixes this error and allows player to have a ball with this omnic support. Batter up! Epic Flag Skins Representando a México, presentamos: ¡SOMBRA MEXICANA (Épico)! Acompáñanos en Busan para los Juegos de verano, comenzando el 9 de agosto. pic.twitter.com/9eGxwfC5gR — Overwatch (@OverwatchLatAm) August 7, 2018 Sombra is getting a nice epic skin in the colors of her nation. The newest sizzle teaser reveals that Brigitte and Moira are also getting these nice, country-affiliated skins. This is a return to the original Summer Games epic skins, where characters like Widowmaker and McCree wore the colors of their country over their typical garb. This is just a nice, clean skin—it’s not fancy, but it shows some national pride and looks nice. The Summer Games are set to debut on Aug. 9 and are set in Busan, Korea this year. This post will be updated with new skin teasers as they debut on the official Overwatch Twitter account.<doc-sep>Overwatch developer Blizzard has revealed even more skins ahead of this week's Summer Games event.

Every year, Overwatch players celebrate a number of in-game events, including the Chinese New Year, Christmas, and the Summer Games. This year, Blizzard has been slowly teasing fans with a bunch of new Legendary skins in theme for the Overwatch Summer Games 2018, including an American Football skin for Reinhardt, a beach-day skin for Ana, and a Baseball skin for Winston. These skins are set to be released on the game at the same time as the new Summer Games content update, giving players the chance to compete in their favourite Overwatch Summer heroes. What are the Overwatch Summer Games skins? Summer 2018 has been a huge year for sports, with the Football World Cup taking the world by storm, but it appears Blizzard has chosen to ignore this with the Summer Games 2018. Initially created as a way to celebrate the Rio 2016 Olympics, the Overwatch Summer Games brings in a slew of new content, including new skins, voicelines and game modes for players to collect. Lucio Ball has been a popular Summer Games game mode for Overwatch players, but most gamers are more concerned about the new skins. Overwatch Summer Games 2018 date: When will Summer Games skins be released this week? Overwatch Summer Games 2018 new and returning SKINS Sun, August 5, 2018 OVERWATCH developer Blizzard has revealed brand new Legendary skins for the Summer Games 2018 event. Play slideshow 1 of 24 This year, Blizzard has been teasing new skins every day in the run-up to the Summer Games release date. First off, they revealed Reinhardt's new GridIronHardt Legendary skin, which is kitted out with huge American Football shoulder pads, a Football helmet, and a giant winners trophy instead of his great Hammer. Next up, they released a Catcher skin for Winston, showing off his Baseball kit, complete with padding, helmet and spare baseball bats on his Tesla Cannon. A Baseball sits pride of place on his massive chest, as well as inside his jump pack. On the third day, Blizzard revealed a new Cabana Ana skin on Twitter, showing off her beach outfit, complete with fabulous shades, a wicker hat, and a little beach pouch. Today, fans got a glimpse of the new Roadhog Lacrosse skin, which is a full armour set, complete with helmet and a ripped Lacrosse net for his hook. The Legendary Reinhardt skin will release this week Winston also got a Legendary skin<doc-sep>
This Thursday, August 9, Overwatch’s Summer Games event will kick off on all platforms. Summer Games is one of many seasonal Overwatch in-game events that rotate throughout the year. The 2018 version of this event takes place August 9-30. Although Blizzard didn’t say what activities this year’s iteration will bring us, it’s not unreasonable to assume that the popular Lucioball brawl, a 3v3 football match featuring the beloved hero, will return. Lucioball modifies some of Lucio’s abilities, but it’s essentially a goofy take on the sport that sees one player staying back as a goalkeeper while the other two attempt to score. What Blizzard did confirm, however, is that the 2018 Summer Games will bring a few new skins. This is to be expected, and it’s likely the thing players look forward to the most. So far, Blizzard unveiled new skins for Winston, Reinhardt, D.Va, and Ana. See below for a look at Catcher Winston (Legendary), Gridironhardt Reinhardt (Legendary), Wavedancer D.Va (Legendary), and Cabana Ana (Legendary).

If they do, they’re going to be much cheaper than the new ones. We’re waiting on Blizzard to detail everything coming with Summer Games 2018.
