When the Year of the Pig Lunar Event starts on January 24, players will be able to get new skins. There are ones that are even themed around pigs like the one in the screenshot above. Of course, there will be many more skins than just that available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

In addition, players will be able to get other exclusive items from loot boxes that aren’t normally given out. Plus, maybe, for some reason you missed out on last year’s Lunar New Year event. That’s okay, though, as Blizzard typically makes the previous year’s items available for a short time as well.

The Overwatch Year of the Pig 2019 release date is currently set for January 24, 2019. But how long will it last for? Well, it’s going to last for almost an entire month. It will come to an end next month on February 18, 2019. That’s almost a whole month to collect all of your favorite skins and enjoy the festivities in Overwatch.
