Hey TTG I compiled a video that talks about the new Overwatch Summer Games Update and include all of the skins emotes and other goodies that came along with this new update.
Video: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Original Story August 2, 2016: A new set of Overwatch skins are coming today, all based around the Olympic Games. Theyll arrive in special, Olympics-branded loot boxes that will be on sale for a limited time, probably arriving with tonights patch. The information comes from a box sent to streamer LacedUpLauren, which contained images of the skins that she then posted online. There is also a Playstation Store listing for the new loot boxes.
You can see close up images of the next skins, which include a Track & Field skin for Tracer, a football skin for Lucio and a Weightlifting skin for (obviously) Zarya, over onLaurens twitter. She also livestreamed opening the box she was sent on Twitch.
As for how you or I will attain them in-game, this Playstation Store listing for new Olympic boxes is as much as we have to go on. It says that the new Summer Games Loot Boxes will be available to purchase or earn in-game until 8/22/16 at 11:59pm PT.
The new skins wont be attainable through credits, meaning your stockpiles useless if you want them, but the new boxes are guaranteed to have at least one of the new set of skins, sprays, highlight intros, emotes, victory poses, player icons and voice lines - also confirming all of those will be available too. Once the timer is up (and the Games are over) the boxes wont be on sale or earnable any more.
Its not confirmed exactly how they will be earned, and Blizzard will likely clarify in patch notes later tonight, however its probable that either the new boxes will replace all level-up drops or a random amount of level-up drops from now until the end date.
Look out for more information on the new cosmetics tonight. There's also some debate if there is also a new map and game mode coming, possibly revolving around goal-scoring on what looks like a new map, as seen in our header image.

The skins are meh to me, haven't looked at the emotes just yet, probably won't get them either since I never use them. However, the new "special brawl" is really fun! I spend hours earlier on it, playing with a friend for half the time and going solo for the other half. I can't wait to see what other "special brawls" they have in store for us throughout the summer games. I am sure it will change. The loot boxes are the exact same, just with the added skins from the summer games, it looks sick though.

Watched the video, some of it. Very cool video man, thanks for showing me it all. I wasn't aware of the McCree skin though, I actually want to try and get that one now. Some of the emotes are cool, might as well go for them all just to have them. Keep up the good videos.

My boyfriend got overwatch like yesterday i think, I've been watching him play it because i think it's a really cool game and love how much detail has gone into characters etc. But anyway, awesome video ! Thanks for showing all the skins, Tracer's cape with the union flag on has to be my favourite
