It isn't too far fetched to say that the return of Summer Games to Overwatch was one of the worst kept secrets from dataminers who managed to find updates two months ago signaling the return of the event. Now we finally have an official date from Blizzard as August 8 will mark the official kickoff of the games. You can expect Lúcioball to make a return, which is an Overwatch take on soccer where two teams of Lúcios play against each other using his skills and weapons. But to spice things up, the devs are adding a map for Sydney, along with new character balances.
