Announced at Blizzcon 2018, 'Lucio-Ohs' are a [video game-branded cereal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doughlicious-doom-the-dark-ages) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kelloggs-cocoa-loops) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overwatch-2-2) 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.
