New information about “Overwatch” Summer Games 2017 have been recently discovered through data miners. After the release of Doomfist in the game’s live servers, many details about the summer event of the game have surfaced.
Latest data mined
On Reddit, a user by the name Yernemm has recently shared his latest finds from data mining Blizzard’s first person shooter game. Among the details he discovered are references to “Overwatch” Summer Games 2017 including loot boxes and cosmetic items. According to the Redditor, these cosmetics could be Beach-themed and since there are no Olympic Games this year where the developers can derive inspiration from, the beach concept would seem fitting for the event.
There is also an image that revealed that the event will feature 40 new cosmetics. Last year’s cosmetics will also be available, giving other players the chance to avail it if they had not participated in the event last year. Aside from those, the term Soccer has been marked several times in the datamine. This in a way confirms the previous speculations about the return of Lucioball in the game along with the summer event.
Other details
While the datamine has revealed information about the Summer Games returning, there are other interesting finds that the Redditor has uncovered. Among these includes a string that remarks on the potential report system rolled out for the console version of the game.
The new reporting and penalty system have been recently implemented in the PC version of the game, and rolling the same on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 is the much-needed improvement the users have long been waiting.
