Could Overwatch Be Getting Olympics-Themed Content?

The 2016 Rio Olympic Games are kicking off in just a few days in Brazil, and it looks as though Blizzard may be celebrating the occasion with some themed Overwatch content.

Though nothing has been officially confirmed as of yet, Twitch streamer Laced Up Lauren tweeted a photo of a package she received from Blizzard today. See for yourself below:

The package contains photos showing Lucio, Tracer and Zarya all dressed up in sports gear (new skins, perhaps?), and it even looks like a brand new map set in Rio De Janeiro could be on the table.

Of course, this could just be a promotional effort on Blizzard’s part, but it seems like a lot of effort has gone into the design of those costumes, which suggests there may be more to it.

In any case, we can probably expect to hear more in the coming days and weeks, once the official Olympic Games kick off this Friday.

For everything Overwatch, keep up to date with Twinfinite.
