Leaked 'Overwatch' trailer reveals a 'Capture the Flag' mode
Overwatch is getting a Capture the Flag mode.
That's the big takeaway from an apparently leaked trailer for Blizzard's upcoming "Year of the Rooster" in-game event. You can also see a handful of the event's hero skins, though they're very blurry.
Overwatch developer Blizzard Entertainment has yet to address the leak publicly, though we've reached out to confirm the origin of the trailer. The leaked video -- which you can see below -- seems to be captured off of a monitor, so the image quality is less-than-stellar.
Watch carefully and you'll see extremely blurry glimpses of Mei, Mercy, Symmetra, Roadhog, Reinhardt, Zenyatta, Winston, and Tracer sporting their event-themed duds. D.Va is also known to be getting a Year of the Rooster skin.
Treat all of this as a rumor for the time being. The trailer is almost certainly real, but until Blizzard steps up and confirms things, any suggestion that it is authentic falls into the realm of alternative facts.
