Overwatch Summer Games Skins
Now, it's time for what people are waiting for, the skins. First up is a new Symmetra skin, seeing her take the role of a mermaid. Complete with a new outfit and headgear, this legendary skin is the first she has received in a while. This one is called Poolside Ashe, and you can see it below.
Moving from here, we have a new skin for Ashe and B.O.B. They are both dressed in colourful summer gear with Ashe holding a water gun and wearing a nice sun hat. B.O.B has a great new pool tube on his head and it's a nice flamingo one to boot.

Her gun could almost look like a soft serve machine and her little sidekick is shaped like an ice cream, a nice touch. There will certainly be a handful of other skins releasing as the next event does so keep your eyes peeled for all the latest updates right here.
