Overwatch is on the cusp of hitting its second year anniversary, and to celebrate a special Overwatch Anniversary Event will run from May 23 through June 12. The best part is that we'll be getting all the seasonal brawls, which will rotate daily in the Arcade. Including the most recent Overwatch: Archives mission.
Also coming is a new Deathmatch map called Petra, alongside a new Competitive Mode specific to Deathmatch. Which will, like standard competitive play, include placements matches, skill ratings, and leader-boards.
Naturally, any new Overwatch event means new cosmetics and Overwatch Anniversary Event 2018 is no different. But, this time to celebrate two-years of Overwatch all Loot Boxes will include all previous seasonal event loot. Also players who log-inwill receive a Legendary Anniversary Loot Box, which will guarantee one Legendary item.
And finally, for those that have yet to jump into Overwatch - a free weekend is coming May 26 through May 29 on all platforms.
