A set of Legendary skins for the upcoming Overwatch

Loading

The event - which was teased earlier this week - celebrates Chinese New Year and, as pointed out by Eurogamer , the seemingly leaked skins mimic characters from Chinese novel Journey to the West.Zenyatta is dressed as Buddhist master, Tang Sanzang, while Winston, Reinhardt and Roadhog are dressed as his three disciples; Sun Wukong, the monkey king, Sha Wujing, the river monster, and Zhu Bajie, the immortal soldier turned pig creature.The largest number of legendary skins in an Overwatch event so far has been six, meaning that - alongside the Mei and D.Va skins revealed by Blizzard already - we may have seen all of the event's most expensive skins already.According to the Reddit user who posted the image, the dates don't indicate the event's length, but the dates for a free trial for players in China, corresponding with the start of the event on January 24. Year of the Rooster is expected to last around three weeks, like past events.If the leak is correct, it won't be the first time games have looked to Journey to the West for inspiration - Enslaved: Odyssey to the West transported it to a post-apocalyptic future , while both Dota 2 and League of Legends have characters based on main character, Sun Wukong.
