Happy first birthday, Overwatch! After a wonderful first year on both consoles and PC, Overwatch is celebrating with an event called Overwatch Anniversary. With it comes a lot of new content - so, listen up all you Hanzo mains. First up, we've got three new maps:

  • Castillo
  • Black Forest
  • Necropolis

This is a tremendous addition to an already wonderful set of stages. However, Overwatch players always have an eye on the horizon for new cosmetic items to use on their favorite heroes. With that, a mess of awesome skins and emotes will be available in Overwatch Anniversary loot boxes:

Blizzard has also released Overwatch: Game of the Year Edition; a digital version of the game that comes with even more goodies for Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, and World of Warcraft.

If any of your friends have yet to pull the trigger on Overwatch, be sure to let them know that it's free to play this weekend - from May 26th to May 29th. What better way to spend Memorial Day weekend?

Overwatch Anniversary runs from May 23rd to June 12th. When it ends, it takes these loot boxes with it. As Ana would say; "you're powered up, get in there" and get some skins!
