Running from February 4 through February 25, Overwatch players are invited to compete for new skins in the game's annual Lunar New Year event, this time is themed around the Year of the Ox. Per usual, three of these skins are tied to weekly challenges, which require nine wins in any mode to unlock. Week one's skin is Terracotta Medic Baptiste. Week two will net you the awesomely designed Xiake McCree. And week three is the Imperial Guard Reaper. You can see all three of these skins in the gallery below.

As you play, you'll earn loot crates and currency that can lead to five additional legendary skins. This roundup consists of Bull Demon Orisa, Tiger untress Ashe, Dragonfire Bastion, Kkachi Echo, and Plate Serpent Widowmaker. Along with these new hero looks, Blizzard is adding additional Lunar New Year icons and sprays to unlock.

The event also brings a new brawl mode called Bounty Hunter. The player who achieves the first kill in a match becomes a target, and every one else tries to hunt them down. The player that takes the target down then gets the crosshairs on their back and is in turn hunted. You can find the Bounty Hunter mode in the Arcade tab of modes.

As with all Overwatch events that are repeated, past Lunar New Year skins will once again be available to purchase from the hero screens. If you missed on you wanted last year, this is a good time to get it at a reduced price.

Robert A. Altman was a visionary and a pivotal force when it came to Bethesda's evolution from its humble beginnings. It is with a heavy heart that we report the passing of Altman on February 4, 2021. 

Altman was the CEO of ZeniMax Media, the parent company to Bethesda Softworks. The American business executive founded the company back in 1999 following an extensive career as a lawyer in Washington D.C. News of his passing was made public via the official Bethesda social media channels alongside a heartwarming tribute to the man that touched so many. 

The statement included a tribute to his character, calling him a "true visionary, friend, and believer in the spirit of people and the power of what they could accomplish together." He was praised for his extraordinary leadership abilities and his desire to make all that worked with him feel appreciated and welcome. 

The tribute also lovingly mentioned the little things that Altman would do to make the team feel that love, including weekly emails during the pandemic in an effort to keep everyone feeling connected and important. The team even shared one such email, highlighting his care that he had and the personal touch he added as a leader: 

We are deeply saddened to tell you of the passing of Robert A. Altman, our Founder and CEO. He was a true visionary, friend, and believer in the spirit of people and the power of what they could accomplish together. He was an extraordinary leader, and an even better human being. pic.twitter.com/FZFsVtHc5t

Leadership can make or break a company's entire culture and it's easy to get swept up in the day-to-day, especially when that routine becomes immensely unstable due to current events and the pandemic's continuation. 

Bethesda VP Pete Hines offered his own memorial in a Facebook post, saying "Bethesda Softworks/ZeniMax Media is so much more than a company...we are a family. Today our family is hurting as we try to cope with the passing of our CEO, leader, and friend. He was an extraordinary man, a great mentor, and friend, and the most unflappable human being you ever met. He was funny, smart, and passionate, and I doubt our industry will ever be blessed with someone quite like him again. It's a terrible, sad loss for our company and our industry. I will be forever grateful for everything he did for me and everyone at our company. It hurts a lot because he meant a lot."

Our thoughts are with Altman's family and friends during this time, as well as the many co-workers that his professional philosophy touched in a profound way.
