As mentioned earlier, the Summer Games event is a yearly occasion all about the season, with all of the game modes and cosmetics being related to the theme. Just like previous years, players can expect:

• Limited Time Modes: The iconic Lucioball will most likely return in this Summer Games event, as it's been a part of it every year. For those who do not know, Lucioball is soccer, but people play as Lucio and use his weapon to push and shoot the ball.
• Summer-Themed Cosmetics: Almost every character in Overwatch 2 has Summer-themed skins, and every event introduces even more to the game. Alongside skins, numerous emotes, sprays, and voice lines related to the theme.
• Multiple new challenges: Various challenges will also be included in the Summer Games event, which rewards players with numerous in-game items for completing them.

Everything about the Transformers collab in Overwatch 2

The Transformers Collab has more mystery surrounding it, as Blizzard hasn’t revealed much details regarding it except that it exists. However, based on previous events like the Porsche and Cowboy Bepop, we can predict that the event will have:

• Transformers Skins: Characters in Overwatch 2 will get skins based on the Transformers IP, where players can expect Autobot and Decepticon-themed cosmetics. 
• Themed cosmetics: In addition to skins, the collaboration will most probably have sprays, emotes, and voice lines referencing the Transformers lore.
