Overwatch’s Lunar New Year event happens every year around the end of January or at the beginning of February and features skins and other cosmetics inspired by New Year’s celebrations in several Asian countries.

Reaper was the first to get a new look for this year’s event with his Lu Bu skin, and now it’s Hanzo’s turn.

Hanzo’s new Lunar New Year skin is called Huang Zhong, and it gives him an epic white beard along with a look that would fit right into a Dynasty Warriors game.

Like Reaper’s Lu Bu skin and some other Lunar New Year skins, Hanzo’s Huang Zhong skin is based on a legendary figure in Chinese history of the same name.
