Blizzard has detailed the patch notes for the latest update for Overwatch. The March 15 update adds a new Sombra skin, changes up the game’s map rotation, and kickstarts a new season of competitive Lockout Elimination.

The new Sombra skin is called Zhulong, and it celebrates Shanghai Dragons’ win in the 2021 Overwatch League by giving the Hero a dragon-themed appearance. The skin will set you back 200 League Tokens (about $10 USD) and can only be unlocked until March 28.

The update also sees both the Horizon Lunar Colony and Paris maps getting rotated out of Quick Play and related modes, as well as the start of Competitive 6v6 Lockout Elimination Season 5. A few bug fixes have been implemented too.

We’ve detailed the full Overwatch March 15 update patch notes below. On the horizon, the Overwatch 2 beta is set to start in April. The beta will feature the new Push game mode, four new maps, new Damage Hero Sojourn, and reworks to various existing Heroes.
