Is the Overwatch 2 Music Festival coming to NA servers?

The Weibo post states that the event is exclusive to China's server. However, not all hope is lost for the rest of the world. According to OWCavalry on X, the Neon Pulse skins should drop worldwide soon.

Run by ZenofyMedia and Minkendorfer, the OWCavalry account is trusted by the Overwatch 2 community. The account previously posted about an Music Festival collection featuring these exact skins for Pharah, Kiriko, Ashe, Sombra, and Mercy as well, stating that it's an upcoming shop bundle. Therefore, folks on other servers should save up on either Overwatch Coins or real-world currency before these cosmetics become available.
