Blizzard and LEGO have put out a number of Overwatch-themed sets, but now it seems the building bricks have made their way into the game itself.

Overwatch announced the new event out of nowhere on September 17 and it will run for just under two weeks until September 30.

Blizzard EntertainmentThe Brick Bastion skin definitely looks like it came straight out of the box.

What’s this new Bastion skin?

The new Bastion skin introduced along with the event is simply amazing, the Omnic actually looks like he’s made entirely out of LEGOs.

Red, yellow and blue bricks make up most of the skin, with some grey mechanical parts underneath, and almost every piece looks like an actual LEGO part.

Blizzard EntertainmentThere’s a good chance Bastion will just turn into a pile of LEGOs when he’s eliminated in the new skin.

How to complete the Brick Bastion Challenge

Like other in-game challenges such as Ana’s Bastet Challenge or Baptiste’s Reunion Challenge, the Brick Bastion Challenge will involve a mixture of playing and watching the game.

The skin isn’t the only thing on offer, however, as there will also be LEGO-themed player icons and sprays, some of which can be unlocked by winning games on the way to the Brick Bastion skin, while others are awarded for watching participating streamers on Twitch during the challenge.

Winning games offers the following rewards:

  • Win 3 games – 2 player icons
  • Win 6 games – Pharah and Mercy Sprays
  • Win 9 games – Brick Bastion Skin

Bastion’s Brick Challenge follows the same setup as other mini challenges like D.Va’s Nano Cola and Baptiste’s Reunion.

This means that once September 30 rolls around, any chance to unlock the new Bastion skin or any of the new cosmetics will go away for good, so get those wins in while you still have time.

Blizzard EntertainmentYou probably don’t want to miss out on this Bastion skin, just look at it.

This also marks the first time Overwatch has included a skin associated with something outside of the Blizzard universe of games, and could be a preview of more crossover skins to come.

With the Nintendo Switch version of Overwatch set to drop October 15, it will be interesting to see what other awesome skins for heroes could come out before then.
