Overwatch Anniversary 2018 was today confirmed by developer Blizzard.

The event, a celebration of Overwatch itself, returns with “past brawls and cosmetics” in addition to newly designed content.

The event will run between 22 May and 1 June and coincides with a free weekend that takes place on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 between 25-28 May.

Blizzard has also confirmed the event will add 50 new cosmetic items — including eight new Legendary skins and three Epic skins — and a new deathmatch map called Petra.

Anyone who logs in during the event will receive one Legendary Anniversary Loot Box for free.

Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
