Overwatch update adds brand new game mode

A new update has been released for Overwatch to tie into this year’s Olympics in Rio.

Included in this update is a brand new game mode, Lúcioball, and a wealth of new cosmetic items, such as themed emotes, victory posts, player icons, skins, highlight intros, and sprays.

Lúcioball is a 3-on-3 take on soccer. It’s set in the Estádio das Rãs stadium with teams tasked with scoring as many goals as possible within four minutes. The map features a number of jump pads and speed boosting walls, which Blizzard say let players "punch, glide, block, bounce, and boop and their way to victory."
