To celebrate six years' worth of Overwatch, Blizzard is bringing a bunch of skins back out of the vault, and re-introducing season-exclusive brawls. In addition, the developer is finally getting rid of loot boxes once the event concludes. The event is live now and will run through 30th August.
The Overwatch Anniversary Event will allow players to relive past story-based missions previously exclusive to specific seasons. Uprising is set seven years in the past and sees an Overwatch strike team seeking to liberate King's Row from an army of robots. Retribution, in the inverse, tells the story of Blackwatch operatives attempting to capture a high-ranking Talon scientist.
Players can earn or purchase loot boxes that may contain skins or items from past seasons throughout the event. After the event concludes, however, loot boxes are gone for good. They will no longer be purchasable, and any you had left over will automatically unlock. Good riddance, we say.
Instead, Blizzard wants to know if you would be interested in purchasing select skins for $45. Yes, really.
It's a big event, so for the full, exhaustive list of skins, brawls and miscellaneous details, head on over to the official website.

Nope i sold the game and i wont be getting it again lootboxes thats the issue.
This recolors, oh sorry, 'remix' cosmetics sounds way cooler are the worst they produced. And they have the audacity to charge premium price. What a joke Blizzard, what a joke...
Anyone else missing five or six skins that should have been unlocked with the purchase of the Legendary Edition or Origins Edition? I have had those skins for years and now they are gone.
wake me up when OW2 is out 😴😴😴😴
@Stevemalkpus they fixed it
@Flaming_Kaiser if that’s your only issue you had with the game then i’m jealous
@nomither6 I had a blast but in the end i knew i was only playing for a new costume and with my big issue with FOMO it was cheaper to trade it in.
