Overwatch’s story-driven – Season al event returns tomorrow, May 19th. The time-limited event will feature PvE maps and new loot – including legendary skins!

A fan-favorite celebration will return to the Overwatch servers very soon. While that’s not necessarily the right birthday date (Overwatch was originally released on May 24th), this is a party not to be missed.

For the duration of the event, players can experience special content such as the archive series of narrative PvE maps where you can happily blast down some evil omnics with your friends. The Overwatch equivalent of blowing out birthday candles…

But probably the biggest attraction of the anniversary events is of course the loot. The birthday doesn’t even have a theme like the Halloween or Christmas events and therefore offers the best of all. The special loot boxes for 2020 will contain happy, spooky and menacing skins.

A really interesting legendary skin that stands out is Mercy as a green Dragoon skin:

Another eye-catcher is Little Red Ashe and her grandma wolf BOB, who seem to have jumped right out of a Grimm fairy tale. Note Grandma’s bonnet… “Only, BOB, why do you have such big teeth?”

And last but not least, an unpronounceable Zenyatta skin with an Aztec look: Huitzilopochtli – whoever can pronounce that is a tongue acrobat. However, very historically accurate, because the Maya or Aztecs had such tongue twister words. Let’s hope Zenyatta is played unspeakably well in it too…

If you want to grab some of these fancy skins, log in on May 19th and play like crazy from there until June 9th. Much luck!

OVERWATCH 2 – A VISUAL EVOLUTION

Overwatch 2 takes the world and gameplay to a new level: the environments are more dynamic, the battles are more comprehensive, improved effects and shadows enrich the atmosphere in the game. You will be immersed in the story of Overwatch in gripping events. All heroes will get a completely new, even more detailed and authentic look in Overwatch 2.

The five best Overwatch skins

As really cool – so you could title the new Overwatch skins. Because Blizzard Entertainment has really put a lot of effort this time and gifted the community with new cosmetics.

The OverwatchEcent Archives is in full swing. And once again, it takes us back to the original Overwatch team that used to fight in the streets of King’s Row against the rebellion started by the Null Sector. We also remember eight years ago when we took control of Blackwatch, a terrorist organization bent on destruction. But besides all the nostalgia, there’s something else that makes this event: the Archives skins. Here comes the top 5 of the best Cosmetics.

5th Place: Zarya’s “Workout.”

Giving us a bit of workout reality is Zarya’s “Workout” skin at #5. At a young age, Zarya identified a lot with athletics and here she shows that she’s a tough woman. But we honestly expected something more from the professional weightlifter. Still, the skin turned out quite nice.

4th Place: Roadhog’s “Militia” Look

Blizzard has done a good job of mixing the scout and military outfits, so Roadhog’s “Militia” skin lands in 4th place. We especially love the patches attached to the dungarees, but this skin isn’t as colorful and fancy as, say, other skins in the ranking. For that, it gets a solid 4th place.

3rd place: Junkrats “King Jamison

Majestic and bold in 3rd place is Junkat’s “King Jamison” skin. After being banished from Junkertown by the queen, he’s back and presents himself as a real eye-catcher that the queen would be jealous of. We were taken with the golden leg, but so much potential was lost with the rather plain shirt. That’s why Junkrat only makes it to number 3.

2nd place: Pharah’s “Aviator” style

Lieutenant Fareeha “Pharah” comes flying in at number two, in a stunning look that should wow anyone. The aviator sunglasses plus jetpack give her a thematically badass appearance that still makes her look cool and beautiful.

1st Place: Ana’s “Sniper” Skin.

Ana breathes new life into us with her “Sniper” skin and is unrivaled our No. 1 spot. During the Omnic crisis in her earlier years, Ana slayed the Omnics in this color stunning outfit. Her red scarf, headset and many other smaller accessories add the finishing touches to the skin that have us excited.

We’re excited to see when and with which skins Blizzard will wow us again. For more info on Overwatch and everything else about the world of Esports and gaming, check out Early Game.
