According to the Overwatch website, “Loverwatch is a non-canon text-based dating sim where players will choose between two potential dating paths: Mercy or Genji. Players will be presented with dialogue options to interact with that hero and will be assisted by Cupid (who looks suspiciously like Hanzo). Unlock the secret ending, and you’ll be rewarded with a themed POTG Highlight!”
This Valentine’s day event also includes a Hanzo 4v4 Limited Time Mode allowing the player to earn “epic skins, among other rewards”. However, fans are excited about the One Punch Man collaboration. Including a new skin for Doomfist. However, this is not the only item that they teased that is coming out, “We’ll reveal each item before they drop on March 7, with one being a Legendary skin that’s earnable via themed challenges.”
