Blizzard Reveals Details Of Upcoming Overwatch Anniversary Remix Event

April 2, 2022 Marc Marasigan Comments

Blizzard Entertainment outlines how Overwatch’s upcoming anniversary event will be different from previous years. For starters, it’s called the Anniversary Remix (cue scratching and backspin effects here) which means that we’ll be getting the same anniversary content with a few twists to breathe new life into the event.

“Like standard Anniversary events, Remix events will throw open the vault doors, allowing you to unlock every skin normally available during these events, plus all new “remixed” Legendary skins. These offer a spin on our ‘greatest hits’ with new looks for some of the most popular skins ever released, and you can look forward to six of them per Remix event.”

The Anniversary Remix event will kick off on April 5^th and will be divided into three parts with three mini-event skins making a limited-time return for each leg of the event. Each leg will only last for a week so make sure to complete those challenges fast.

Brawls will also be on a rotating schedule throughout the course of the event including fan favorites like Lucio Ball, Me’s Snowball Challenge, and Archives Missions.

“This does mean that events like Archives, standard Anniversary, and Summer Games will not make a return this year,” announces Blizzard. “Instead, the Anniversary Remix events will be introducing a new set of variants in place of the normal event schedule, all of which will transfer to Overwatch 2 along with all previously earned skins, sprays, and player icons.”

“This three-part anniversary event enables our team to allocate more time and attention to the upcoming PVP beta, while simultaneously providing the community with the chance to earn unique variants of your favorite Legendary skins,” concludes the team.

More information can be found on the Overwatch official forums.
