So a developer update was posted yesterday about the anniversary event and its got all of us pretty hyped for the anniversary event.
For those who haven't watched it yet, here is a small recap....
1. Second Anniversary Event
Turns out Overwatch now has 40 MILLION PLAYERS. How mad is that? The second anniversary event starts 22nd May.
2. We are getting a NEW MAP!
We are getting a new free-for-all death map called Petra. Jeff says that the map is beautiful. They have also added new game-play elements such as mega health pack in the middle of the map which is dangerous to get to. There are parts of the map which are great for open and short range hero's as well.3. Free-For-All Deathmatch competitive season.
I friggin' love playing deathmatch, its my go-to when playing arcade mode to unlock those weekly loot boxes. Im so excited that they have announced a competitive mode for this. It will take place in both Chateau Guillard and Petra. "Time to show my skills!"
4. Special Anniversary Loot Box
So what makes this years Loot Boxes so special? Not only will you get a guaranteed anniversary item, you are also able to get any item from any season event that has happened in Overwatch. So if your like me and was unable to get the Junkenstein skin or any of the dance emotes from last year, nows your chance!
5. Seasonal brawls and missions will be coming back to arcade mode.
I think that this is a great idea. I know we just spent a few weeks playing our arses off at the retribution event. But this is a great time to go back and play other seasonal events. Here is a list of modes that will be available to play during the event:
- Junkenstein
- Junkenstein Endless
- Mei's Snowball Offensive
- LucioBall
- Uprising
- Retribution
- All Heros for Retribution and Uprising
- More to be announced
The brawls and missions will be in arcade mode and change daily.
6. New Skins!
Now the moment we have all been waiting for...... who is getting a new skin? There are 8 new legendary skins for this event. Jeff was kind enough to give us a hint about one of the skins.....
"Theres a certain dapper looking gentlemen that you very muched asked us to see what he would look like in formal wear"
I wonder who it could be? Leave a comment below with your guess.
7. Thank You
Jeff signs off the video with a special thank you to the community for an incredible two years.
Now i don't know about you guys, but i'm so excited right now! Roll on the 22nd
