Update (20:00 BST): It's official and it's live. Overwatch Uprising is a brand new PvE event for Blizzard's popular shooter, and you can check out the trailer above. Here's what you can expect until 1st May, via the PlayStation Blog:
You'll travel seven years into the past to experience Tracer's first mission in a brand-new co-op brawl. We've also added more than 100 new Uprising Loot Box items that give you a glimpse at other heroes' origins and backstories, including sprays that highlight key moments in our heroes' histories, skins like Blackwatch McCree and Genji, Combat Medic Ziegler, Talon Widowmaker, and more.
Original Article: Whoops, someone at PlayStation France will be sitting on the naughty step this morning. Overwatch Uprising, which Blizzard has been counting down to for some time now, has leaked online. The co-op event – which is expected to go live later today – takes place on the King's Row map, and will see you assuming the role of Reinhardt, Tracer, Torbjörn, or Mercy as you fend off waves of foes.
There are also a bunch of new skins from the recent Overwatch comic; we particularly like the new Genji outfit. All of this information should be announced officially within the next few hours or so.

It's called Overwatch Uprising in english and I was almost sure it will release today...no?
@booshy89 @AFCC You're both right, I edited the article. I got my dates muddled up.
I'm really looking forward to this, Junkenstein's Revenge was by far the best event to date, hope this is just as good. Usually Overwatch updates for PS4 come on Tuesday evenings around 9pm BST, so I can see this being available later today.
@booshy89 If I remember correctly they sometimes release the trailer the moment they release the patch
@AFCC Could this be the first in a series of PvE missions for Overwatch all under the name of Overwatch Uprising, I think that'd be cool.
"leaked"
@booshy89 aw man, you missed some good skins!
@Simon_Fitzgerald I'm not so sure about the missions, I really really hope so, but I think it may just be a new mode like Junkenstein's Revenge where you need to reach the end of King's Row while killing those little robots! But yeah, missions would be cool! Also I would love that they added some lore or comics to read IN GAME.
@AFCC Yeah some of the lore should definitely be added to the game, even if they just put in the animated shorts that they have already made. I'm sure there are a lot of players who haven't even seen them.
Looking forward to this as I haven't playet Overwatch since the Year of the Rooster event. But that's how it usually goes with me and Overwatch. I am thinking that it will go live here in an hour as all the other events went live at 10 AM PST.
@booshy89 In the first event they said it would be available yearly...I don't know if the events will be the same or if they do new ones with new skins but the old ones available too! Anyway, they will probably be available again soon
The event is live now.
I love the little stories they put in some of the legendary and epic skins! Pretty fun mode too
Can you keep the skins after the event ends? I like Mercy's look.
lol PvE, just add bots on a new map. Well enjoy anyway all.
@sinalefa You can if you unlock it in a loot box or if you buy it with in game coins
