As one of the most popularcharacters inOverwatch, players always keep an eye out for any type of cosmetics arriving for Widowmaker. Hopefully, Blizzard didn’t disappoint the fans of the hero and revealed Pale Serpent Widowmaker for the character along with the launch ofÂthe Year of the Ox event.
Overwatch Year of the Ox celebration
OverwatchYear of the Ox has already started on February 4 and will be available across all platforms until February 25. The new event celebrates the Chinese New Year with the new Bounty Hunter brawl mode. As shown in the trailer, the player who gets the first kill in this mode becomes the target to the other players known as Bounty Hunters. Whoever kills the target, becomes the next target in the match. The player with the highest score wins the match when the time ends. The good news is the Bounty Hunter mode will remain in the Arcade section of the game after the Year of the Ox event ends.
Pale Serpent Widowmaker and more skins available
Aside from the new mode, some new cosmetics including skins, sprays, and voice lines have also been added with the new event. Recently, we talked about theÂTiger Huntress skin for Ashe and Kkachi skin for Echo, but the latest extended trailer of the event revealed more new skins, including Pale Serpent Widowmaker. Bastion, Junkrat, Symmetra, and Orisa are the other heroes that will have their all-new Chinese outfits available in the game during the Year of the Ox event.
