Blizzard has kicked off the Overwatch Summer Games 2017 with a new trailer.

The trailer shows some of the fun things you can do during the event. It also highlights the new skins you can collect for some of the characters. Take a closer look at Junkrat, McCree, Soldier76, Mercy, Widowmaker, Sombra and Ripper in the images below.

Apart from the new skins, which all look awesome, the Summer Games bring back Lucioball. The 3v3 matches will take place in either Rio de Janiero’s Estadio das Ras or Sydney Harbor.

Lucioball comes in 2 modes: standard Lucioball and the new Copa Lucioball. Copa Lucioball is more competitive, with placement matches, skill ratings tiers, leaderboards, and more.

Overall, there will be over 150 seasonal items to unlock during the event. The skins you see below are just some of them. Plus, all summer gear from last year will be available again.

Of course, the new skins, voice lines, emotes, and victory poses can be found in the Summer Games Loot Box. Legendary skins from last year’s Summer Games 2016  can be bought with credits at a discount, so if you missed them before, now is your chance.

Once the event ends on August 28, the Summer Games Loot Box will disappear. Presumably until this time next year.
