Train for Busan

The officialOverwatchTwitter account has put out the heads up that the Summer Games event will be returning to Blizzard’s arena-shooter next week.

Although no specific details were noted, we can, in all likelihood, expect all of the previous sports-based skins, sprays and highlight intros to return to loot boxes, hopefully alongside a new batch of clobber for some of the heroes that could do with a little more love (Here’s looking at you, Moira).

The event will also see the return of poor-man’sRocket League, Lucioball, wherein six players can battle it out in gravity-defying games of soccer. A recent Korean tweet also seems to suggest that a new Lucioball arena will be unveiled, located in Busan, Korea.
