Overwatch’s annual anniversary event, Year One, is slated to start from May 19 and last until June 9. During the event players will be able to earn anniversary cosmetics through loot boxes or purchase them for 3000 coins per piece.
On may 17 Overwatch’s official twitter handle revealed the third Legendary Anniversary Skin ‘Huitzilopochtli Zenyatta’.
Huitzilopochtli is a god of the Aztec mythology positioned as god of the sun ,war and human sacrifice. The name means “Blue Hummingbird on the Left” and he is characterized by headdresses and foot ornaments that resemble hummingbirds. The skin released also reflect these features.
In some Aztech traditions it is believed that Huitzilopochtli seeked human sacrifice. With his incredible killing power from “Orb of Discord” and “Orb of Destruction”, this makes the perfect skin for Zenyatta.
A warrior's greatest weapon... is patience.
