The new Overwatch Year of the Rooster Event was announced earlier this week by Blizzard is scheduled to start on January 24 in the UK.

It’s Blizzard's next major seasonal celebration, following on from all the festivities in December, which were first revealed via teaser clip released on social media.

The short video was posted on Twitter, accompanied with the caption “Good luck and great fortune await!” Along with Mei sporting a new Overwatch skin.

The Overwatch: Year of the Rooster event is still a bit of a mystery, Blizzard have yet to confirm when it will end and what kind of loot will be included.

However, Blizzard has confirmed that their next Overwatch event will be the same size as earlier ones. This means it's likely that a themed mini-mode or special playlist will be included.

It was thought that a new Valentine's Day Event was being planned, however, the Overwatch Facebook page poured cold water over that idea, telling fans that no such thing was being planned.

Recent Overwatch reports suggested Blizzard was working on a Valentine's Day event. The rumours started after voice code was discovered after a separate update.
