A trailer for Overwatch’s next seasonal event based on the upcoming Chinese New Year, has made its way online. A member of the Chinese social network Weibo uploaded a low-res version of a teaser for the Year of the Rooster promotion, which is set for Jan. 24.
The trailer, which is an advertisement for the Chinese market, is grainy, but it gives fans a quick look at costumes for a variety of heroes. Symmetra is decked out in a red-and-gold dress, appropriate for the holiday. Roadhog, Reinhardt, Winston and Zenyatta resemble characters from the classic Chinese story Journey to the West, which boasts a cast full of animals that are also featured in the Zodiac.

The quartet’s skins are seen more clearly in another ad that made it online ahead of the trailer. A poster showing the four in their Chinese New Year outfits and advertising an Overwatch-related promotion from Chinese ticketing service Gemara also appeared on forums late last week. The ad purportedly offers an Overwatch game from Jan. 24-31.
