Blizzard Entertainment released a new update for Overwatch today that adds a new map, the theme park-inspired Blizzard World, and a bunch of cosmetic items, including skins, emotes, sprays and highlight intro animations. Unlike a lot of other Overwatch content drops, this one’s not a seasonal, limited-time event. Players can earn those new legendary and epic skins for Overwatch from regular loot boxes.
You can check out a fly-through of Blizzard World in the above trailer, which Blizzard released during last year’s BlizzCon. Our friends at Heroes Never Die also have a guide to all the Blizzard references contained within the map.
For a look at all the new skins, which Blizzard has been teasing for the past week, check out the gallery below.
