Overwatch Year of the Rooster event is bringing new skins and CTF, according to leaked video

Overwatch's Year of the Rooster in-game event won't just be a token acknowledgment of the Chinese New Year. A video leaked from Chinese social media site Weibo and shared on Reddit shows Mei, Mercy, Symmetra and other heroes getting new skins, plus the tease of a new Capture The Flag mode.

The Year of the Rooster event is scheduled to begin January 24 (hey, that's tomorrow!) so an official, English-language trailer from Blizzard is likely to be released soon. Try to hold out just a bit longer, Overwatch fans.
