While fans are gearing up to grind for the Overwatch Lunar New Year event, Blizzard will be sneaking in an interesting feature along with the upcoming patch. The game’s official Twitter account has revealed that players will now be able to change their character’s costumes at the start of a match. This is truly the future as you won’t have to visit the Hero Gallery to suit up before a fight.
Fashion-forward heroes, rejoice! 👏 👏

Now, you won’t forget about having to change to that skin you’ve been meaning to try out. You’ll also be able to use more of the other skins in the game, which is great for those who want to spice up their character’s appearance. This has been one of the features fans have been requesting for some time, and the developers have finally delivered.
In other news, the Year of the Dog event is right around the corner, and Blizzard has shared a few new details in a recent developer update. We’ll be seeing some changes to the Capture the Flag mode for more streamlined gameplay, as well as receive a handful of new cosmetic items.
Overwatch is now available to play on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
