Overwatch cosmetic update has arrived with new skins, Blizzard World map

It’s a new year and that means some fresh new gear has arrived in Overwatch…

Blizzard has been slowly unveiling a host of new items that are available for free to all Overwatch players on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The cosmetic update which arrived on Tuesday (January 23) saw the highly anticipated arrival of the Blizzard World map.

We got a first-hand look at some of these items at BlizzCon 2017 which saw some of our favourite Overwatch characters “cosplaying” as some of Blizzard’s fellow characters. A recent post on the Overwatch site revealed the new items that are available now to all Overwatch players which include icons, emotes, sprays, highlight intros and of course, skins.

Below, you can view the new available EPIC and LEGENDARY skins for some of our favourite Overwatch characters.

As mention early in this article, the Blizzard World map is included in the cosmetic update. The hybrid map, which was revealed at BlizzCon last year, is filled with Blizzard references (or Easter eggs if you will). If can’t remember what the make looks like, you can view the official trailer below:
