Overwatch 2 is celebrating the Lunar New Year with the Year of the Rabbit event, featuring a new skin, free rewards, new arcade modes, and Twitch rewards. Detailed in a blog post, the Year of the Rabbit event marks the final event of Season 2 of Overwatch 2, which ends in February. This event includes multiple arcade modes, including Capture the Flag and Bounty Hunter. The Year of the Rabbit runs from January 17 to February 1.

Arcade modes galore

The Year of the Rabbit features multiple versions of the classic game mode, Capture the Flag. There is the regular version and a blitz version, with the blitz mode featuring closer spawn points for the flags, making for a faster version. There is also a competitive version of the mode that was added at the start of the week and will be available for the rest of Season 2, letting players enjoy an intense version of Capture the Flag where they can climb the competitive ranks.

The other arcade mode is the free-for-all Bounty Hunter mode. The first person to record a kill gets a bounty placed on their head. While you have the bounty on you, you gain additional points for getting kills, but you are visible to all other players on the map. If you kill the person with the bounty on them, it gets transferred to you. As with previous events, there are challenges based on these arcade modes, with the legendary Kkachi Echo skin available as a free reward.
