Ear Watch officially unveiled the recently revealed Kanezaka free-for-all deathmatch card to live servers from today, and it includes a new “Kanezaka Challenge” event for players to spray, icons and even a new epic skin, Kyogisha Hanzo , to earn. The full notes include updates from heroes like Ashe and Sigma, but the biggest news is the addition of the latest and greatest card.
In terms of rewards, the Kanezaka Challenge is mainly divided into two parts: play and watch Ear Watch. Anyone who achieves nine wins in Quick Play, Competitive Play or Arcade before the event closes on January 25 can earn an icon, a spray and the aforementioned Hanzo skin. During the same period, someone who watches for several hours Ear Watch on Twitch can earn up to six new sprays, with at least one spray per two hours of total spending.
Let go of the storm!

Here’s how Ear Watch officially describes the new card in the latest notes:
Fight for your life in an exciting battlefield of alleys, ancient stone, tower steel and cat cafes. Divide your enemy’s dreams in the pottery shop, deliver battles in the Tora no Sumika nightclub, or rise above the competition in the tower at the city center of the city. ‘
As noted above, the Kanezaka Challenge ends on January 25th. Ear Watch itself is currently available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. Overwatch 2 is under development, although no specific platforms have been announced yet. You can see all of our previous coverage of the Overwatch franchise here.
