event officially kicked off yesterday. The event will end on 29 August. Time-limited cosmetic items and LucioBall are back again this year. Sombra, Widowmaker, Reaper, and Junkrat among others are sporting some new, summer themed outfits.
Soldier 76 channelled everyone's dad on vacation by donning some cargo shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, socks and sandals. He also traded in his assault rifle for one that says A Salt Rifle. Dad puns.

LucioBall has a new map this year. The football-esque map has two teams made up of a bunch of Lucios try to get a ball into the opposing team's goal. LucioBall is described as "a Brawl game mode exclusive to the event. It is an adaptation of association football, albeit with simpler rules and changes that complement Lúcio's abilities".
In case you missed the last year's skins, you can get them during this event at a discounted price. We'll go through the prices in a second.
