'Lucio-Ohs' Bring Overwatch Out of the Game & Onto the Breakfast Table
Justin Lam — November 5, 2018 — Tech
Announced at Blizzcon 2018, 'Lucio-Ohs' are a video game-branded cereal celebrating the immensely popular Overwatch. Based on an in-game joke, Lucio-Ohs showcase the skating DJ support character who happens to be an international celebrity in the game. The cereal will be produced by Kellogg's and will come packaged with new Overwatch loot. Lucio-Ohs will be available in December 2018 and will be Fruit Loop-flavored.
In addition to the announcement of the cereal, Blizzard Entertainment and the Overwatch team announced a full album of Lucio music. Known as 'Synaesthesia Auditiva,' this album features original music -- some of which can be heard in the game. The release of the album was hinted back in 2015 with a fictional news story about the character.
