New Overwatch skins possibly leaked by alleged Chinese ad
The image was posted by Redditor hythl0day, who says a Chinese player "accidentally found an ad about the 'free week' event of OW in China." Apparently, the text on the poster translates to: "Journey to the West limited skins. Year of the Rooster, free trial: January 24 - January 31."
The four skins depict characters from the famous Chinese novel, which has seen adaptations in everything from Dragon Ball to the video game Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Zenyatta's skin is the Buddhist monk Xuanzang, also referred to as Tang Sanzang or, in some English translations, Tripitaka, while the three tank heroes are dressed as the monk's three disciples: Winston is Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, Roadhog is the pig monster Zhu Bajie, and Reinhardt is Sha Wujing, a sand monster that terrorized a river.
We don't have any hard proof that the ad is real, so it's entirely possible these skins don't end up making it to the game. Having said that, the character design is high enough quality to suggest some credence. We'll find out either way when the event launches on January 24.
