Today Blizzard officially confirmed that a new update to Overwatch will be arriving to celebrate the first anniversary of the launch of the game. In a video posted on their official website, the developer confirmed that new maps, skins and items will all be available in special Anniversary Loot Boxes.
"We’re humbled and honoured to commemorate one year of playing Overwatch with you! What better way to mark the occasion than with new maps and lots of new loot?
We’re adding three new Arena maps to the Arcade, and unleashing more than 100 Anniversary rewards, including our largest-ever release of new Legendary skins! You’ll earn Anniversary Loot Boxes as you play, plus pick up a free box when you log in between May 23 and June 12, 2017. Anniversary Loot Boxes are also available for purchase—but they’ll be locked away after the event ends.
Come celebrate with us!"
The update is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC. You can see some screenshots of the new legendary skins below.
