Overwatch Reveals Plans For Sixth Anniversary Celebration

Blizzard Entertainment has revealed their plans for the sixth anniversary of Overwatch, and while it looks fun, it's also a bit of a rerun. This event will be running from April 5th to the 25th, and they announced they'll have two more anniversary events coming during the Summer. This one will kick off with the Anniversary Remix: Volume 1. From April 5 to April 25, players will be able to earn new versions of fan-favorite Legendary skins while fighting it out in a rotating Arcade of seasonal events. While it's cool to see new white versions of these skins, it also kinda feels like no one on the Overwatch team thought they'd still be doing anniversary events in the original game, and this is what they created on short notice while we slowly get to Overwatch 2. Here's some additional info on what to expect.

The six Legendary skins for the Overwatch Anniversary Remix: Volume 1 event are as follows:

• Demon Genji
• Evermore Reaper
• Mage Mercy
• Steelhardt Reinhardt
• White Cat D.Va
• Zealot Zenyatta
