The Lunar New Year falls on January 22, butOverwatch 2is getting the party started early. The game has kicked off its Lunar New Year event, allowing players to earn a number of rewards, including a Legendary Echo skin.
ManyOverwatch 2fans expresseddisappointment regarding the Battle For Olympusevent, claiming that it required extreme amounts of grinding on a single arcade mode. Blizzard may or may not have listened to the outcry, but the Lunar New Year 2023 event does look quite different.

Instead of revolving around one arcade mode, the Lunar New Year event incorporates three into its challenges.Overwatch 2players can earn various rewards along the way, with the top prize being the Legendary Kkachi skin for Echo.
Overwatch 2 Lunar New Year 2023 Event Challenges
There are a total of five challenges forOverwatch 2’s Lunar New Year 2023 event. Unlike Battle For Olympus, this event incorporates three different arcade modes: Capture the Flag, CTF Blitz, and Bounty Hunter. Players need to complete four challenges in order to earn the Kkachi skin for Echo.
Here is the list of challenges and any cosmetic rewards they offer:
When players complete any two of these challenges, they receive a Lucky Pouch weapon charm reward. Once players complete four, they get the Kkachi skin for Echo.
While winning 10 games of Bounty Hunter is a fairly tall order, players shouldn’t have too much difficulty completing the other four in order to get the top reward. On top of that,Overwatch 2’s Capture the Flag modeis one of the better seasonal game modes, according to many players. All in all, players should have a much easier time than getting the hundreds upon hundreds of kills needed tocomplete the Battle For Olympus event.
How to Get Masked Dancer Moira Skin
Players can get the Legendary Masked Dancer skin for Moira by watchingOverwatch 2streams on Twitch during the 2023 Lunar New Year event.This requires players to link their Twitch account and their Battle.net accounts and to watchOverwatch 2streams that have drops enabled.
After watching two hours of content, players have the ability to claim a The Lion Roars victory pose for Moira. After claiming this drop, players need to watch another four hours ofOverwatch 2streams to get the Masked Dancer skin. Players need to claim the victory pose drop in order to start earning hours towards the skin.
Alongside this, anyone that logs intoOverwatch 2during the event will have a Year of the Rabbit player icon added to their account.
When Does Overwatch 2’s Lunar New Year Event End?
TheOverwatch 2Lunar New Year Event runs from January 17 to February 6.
For players that don’t yet have good skins for Moira and Echo, this is a great opportunity to do so. These skins are not normally available in the shop or available for purchase with Legacy Credits, so players should make sure they don’t miss out.
Overwatch 2is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
