Blizzard revealed four new Overwatch hero skins last night on the official Korean Overwatch Twitter and they look pretty slick.

The new skins for Bastion, Pharah, Soldier: 76, and Zarya will be available during Overwatch's anniversary event starting May 23 and running into mid-June.

Zarya is getting a helmet for the first time in Overwatch (complete with an opening for her colorful hair to stick through) and Soldier: 76 appears to have some new cyborg limbs. Meanwhile, Bastion has gotten all pipe-y and Pharah's armor has a cool new falcon theme reminiscent of the Egyptian god Ra.

The skins will have a chance of dropping in lootboxes during the anniversary event, but you aren't guaranteed to receive them. You'll also be able to spend in-game currency on them throughout the event.

Most Overwatch events tend to have at least 10 new hero skins, so expect to see a lot more once the event is revealed next Tuesday.
