Can You Get Past Lunar New Year Event Skins In Overwatch 2?
Players who didn't get past Lunar New Year event skins might be wondering if they are able to get them in Overwatch 2 in 2023. Thankfully, yes, it does seem that Blizzard will be bringing back at least a few of the Lunar New Year event skins to Overwatch 2 during the Lunar New Year event.
For example, Tracer's Nezha skin states that it is "sometimes available in the Shop," suggesting that it will 'potentially' come back during the 2023 event.
